I am an Associate Professor at the Elon University School of Law in Greensboro, North Carolina. My research focuses on the sociology of law, the legal profession, and legal education; labor law and the labor movement; and the informal regulation of social practices. I teach in the areas of business law, labor and employment law, and socio-legal studies.
