After receiving a law degree at the University of Georgia, I received a Ph.D. in American History at Boston College. My doctoral dissertation explored the Pragmatic jurisprudence of Henry J. Friendly, a long time judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and perhaps the greatest of Louis Brandeis' law clerks. I have been teaching law at Brandeis on a part-time basis since 1998, and began the duties of a full time instructor in the Legal Studies program in 2015.Courses Taught
