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 discusses law-
related fiction. For a good general collection of law & literature links, visit Dick Dunlop's page.

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've taught law courses in my fields of specialization and published articles such as “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). I'm admitted to
practice law in New York (since 1996) and in the local federal courts.
