About Me

I am a professor of legal studies who primarily publishes non-fiction through traditional publishers. But fiction and poetry have always been very important to me as a reader and writer, and I have also published two books of poetry, several short story collections and most recently my first novel, Hire Lernin’: An Idealist’s Quest Through the Realm of for-Profit Education, which is a lightly fictionalized version of my first posting out of law school as dean of a for-profit school of business in the late 1980s knowing nothing about the industry.

I love reading...

Everything. I have very eclectic tastes and interests ranging from law, politics and ethics to poetry and speculative fiction. But my light reading is primarily in the science fiction and fantasy realms.

I love writing...

Non-fiction, fiction and poetry. My primary expertise is law, and most of my non-fiction books, textbooks, and articles relate to the law. But I have also published books of poetry, short fiction and most recently my first novel (Hire Lernin') that deals with a lightly fictionalized version of my actual experience out of law school in my first academic posting as dean of a for-profit business school knowing nothing about the industry. The facts, situations, humor, highs and lows in the novel very closely match my actual experience.
