I am an Associate Professor and a member of the Health Law Institute at Widener University School of Law (in Delaware). I first came to Widener as a visiting professor during 2007-2008.
I began teaching at the University of Memphis School of Law in 2005. Before entering academia, I worked seven years for Arnold & Porter LLP (in Los Angeles and Washington, DC), and clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (in Milwaukee). I earned both my J.D. and Ph.D. (in philosophy) from Georgetown.
I teach these courses:
Health Law I (Patient Care & Liability)
Health Law II (Finance & Regulation)
Torts
Business Organizations
End-of-Life Decisions Law
Bioethics
Public Health Law
My current research focuses on:
Death and dying issues, particularly advance directives and medical futility
Tort law issues, particularly the assumption of risk doctrine
Public health law issues, particularly the legitimacy of restricting voluntary self-regarding conduct for the sake of the common good
Normative jurisprudence issues, particularly the justifiability of hard paternalism
