I've taught law at Boston University since 2001, and
received tenure and promotion to full professor in 2007.
My courses have included administrative law, American Indian law, environmental law,
legislation, the first amendment, law and religion, natural resources
law, and introduction to U.S. law for foreign students. I've also
taught constitutional civil liberties at Lyon 3 in France and a
church-state course at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland on a
Fulbright Fellowship in 2008.
The following is a list of my published scholarly work,
mostly articles, but my books and book chapters are listed as well.
I've included links where possible. At the end of the list are a
few other links to shorter pieces I've written that seemed more
appropriately placed on this page than any other, including some book
reviews I've written for the Boston Globe.
