Law & Literature
I've nurtured a longstanding interest in the interdisciplinary field of “law and literature.” I'm a member of the Law &
Literature Committee of the New York County Lawyers' Association, which at monthly meetings (since 1999)
discusses law-related fiction and some non-fiction. For good general collections of law & literature links, visit Dick
Dunlop's and Daniel Solove's pages.

Professional
Litigation
My general commercial litigation practice is based in Manhattan.
I worked as a law clerk for Hon. Whitman Knapp, United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, and as a litigation associate at the big firm of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae (since merged into Dewey
&LeBoeuf) and at the small firm of Kornstein Veisz Wexler & Pollard. I also served as an extern litigating landlord-
tenant disputes for South Brooklyn Legal Services.
I've handled a variety of cases and issues.
Major substantive areas practiced include: employment; health; insurance; intellectual property; contracts; and
securities and corporate governance law. Other practice areas include: antitrust; civil RICO; constitutional law;
entertainment & media; fraudulent conveyance; matrimonial; and real estate law.
Publishing & Intellectual Property Law
I'm also a transactional lawyer for publishers, literary agents, authors, and book packagers. For several years, I
have been affiliated with Newman & Shaw, a firm specializing in international publishing law. I participate in almost
all of its practice areas.
Academic / Publications
I studied at Harvard College (A.B. in Chemistry, cum laude, John Harvard Scholarship); the University of Michigan
(J.D., cum laude, Raymond K. Dykema Scholarship, 1994); and New York University (M.A. in English Language
& Literature, Henry M. MacCraken Fellowship, 1997; LL.M., 1998). At Michigan, I was an Article Editor of the
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform. I'm admitted to practice law in New York (since 1996) and in the
local federal courts.
I've taught law courses in my fields of specialization and written articles, three of which have been cited recently as
relevant to legal and moral issues in counter-terrorism and the banking debacle: “Translating & Interpreting Foreign
Statutes,” 19 Mich. J. Int’l L. 37 (1997); “Can Formalism Convey Justice? — Oaths, ‘Deeds,’ & Other Legal
Speech Acts in Four English Renaissance Plays,” 72 St. John’s L. Rev. 237 (1998); and “The New Real Estate
Lending Standards for Banks,” 111 Banking L.J. 136 (1994) (as ghost researcher & writer).
