I have written a variety of free-standing articles and participated in colloquies
with others on constitutional law, administrative law, separation of powers, legal
history, parliamentary law, and legislative processes. My articles tend focus on the
parliamentary underpinnings of our constitutional procedure. I have also written on
related issues in corporate law, particularly, issues regarding the validity of board and
corporate action and ratification where prior action was defective. 

My degrees are from the College of the University of Chicago and from Harvard Law School.
I have given lectures or addressed faculty at Campbell University School of Law, Lincoln
Memorial University -- Duncan School of Law, Marquette University Law School, New York
University School of Law, Quinnipiac University School of Law, Roger Williams University
School of Law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, Wayne State University Law School, and
Widener University School of Law. I have current invitations to speak: at the Politics on
the Public Mind Colloquium at Fairleigh Dickinson University, at the next AEI-Brookings
conference on presidential and legislative succession issues, and to chair a forthcoming
Federalist Society debate to be held in England. 

I have clerked for Judge Mark E. Fuller (U.S. District Court for the Middle District of
Alabama -- formerly Chief Judge), Judge William J. Martini (U.S. District Court for the
District of New Jersey), Judge Jane R. Roth (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
-- now Senior), and for Magistrate Judge Malachy E. Mannion (U.S. District Court for the
Middle District of Pennsylvania). I left an appointment as a permanent law clerk to an
Article III judge to take a teaching post in the law faculty at the National University
of Ireland, Maynooth. 

I taught Constitutional Law II at Rutgers University School of Law (Newark) during Spring
2010. I was an observer on the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws' Study Committee for a Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act, and I am a
Member of the Education Committee of the Institute of Parliamentary and Political Law in
Ottawa, Canada. 

I am ranked among the top 400 law authors by the Social Science Research Network -- using
total number of downloads for all papers as of November 11, 2011. My total download count
on SSRN exceeds 6,000; and on BEPRESS, it exceeds 17,000. Full-length responses to my
publications have been written by ten professors, including: Jeremy D. Bailey, Robert F.
Blomquist, Aaron-Andrew P. Bruhl, Steven G. Calabresi, Brian C. Kalt, Gary S. Lawson,
Sanford V. Levinson, Bruce G. Peabody, Saikrishna B. Prakash, and Stephen Michael
Sheppard. 

My corporate law publications have been cited in seven legal briefs before the Delaware
Court of Chancery, thirteen books and treatises (eleven published, two forthcoming), six
journal articles (e.g., Illinois Law Review), one annotation, one bibliography, three
newsletters, and six blog posts. My corporate law publications are cited in (published
and forthcoming) book and treatises on contract law; corporate law; law & economics;
legal opinion letters; mergers & acquisitions; securities transfers; and the Uniform
Commercial Code. 

Three of my eighteen journal articles have been republished, and each of my eighteen
articles is cited in academic, professional, or government publications, or in legal
briefs (before the Delaware Court of Chancery and before the Supreme Court of the United
States). 

There are over one-hundred ninety citations to my articles appearing in over sixty
(published or forthcoming) authored and anonymous treatises, annotations, and
bibliographies, books and case books, doctoral dissertations, Congressional Research
Service and other government publications (including two United States Senate documents),
academic and professional newsletters and reports, working papers, and legal briefs, and
in over seventy-five (published or forthcoming) journal articles, including articles
appearing in peer-reviewed and practitioner-oriented journals, e.g., African Journal of
Legal Studies, Alberta Law Review, American Indian Law Review, American Journal of
Comparative Law, Constitutional Commentary, Election Law Journal, Law & History
Review, Melbourne University Law Review, Presidential Studies Quarterly (one published;
one forthcoming), and Review of Securities and Commodities Regulation, and in
student-edited journals, e.g., Boston College Law Review, Boston University Law Review

Fordham Law Review, Georgetown Law Journal (two different articles), George Washington
Law Review, Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Harvard Law & Policy Review,

I have been personally acknowledged or thanked in over thirty publications (including
several foreign publications). Finally, my publications have been discussed or cited in
academic and professional newsletters, on (domestic and foreign) academic law blogs
(e.g., Dorf on Law and Professor Bainbridge’s BusinessAssociationsBlog), on
practitioners’ law blogs (e.g., How Appealing), and on blogs discussing news and
politics, including, for example, the American Constitution Society’s ACSBlog, National
Review’s The Corner (three posts), and Instapundit (three posts).
