This page has been created as a resource for my students, so please check back often to find course syllabi, book requirements, research and media web links, and other resources including the "Student's Guide to Editing Papers," which I hope you will find helpful.
You can also visit this site to see photos of my former students. Below are photos of two of my students who obtained summer internships at the U.S. Supreme Court: Kat Alexander in 2009 (left with General William Suter, Clerk of the Court) and Tessa Daly in 2008 (right, in front of the statue of John Marshall). Below, students visit Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her chambers following oral argument of Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, December 2005. Please scroll to the bottom of the page for more photos.
