I am a professor of law at Tulane University and was recently named the Conrad Meyer III Professor of Civil Procedure. In 2006-07, I was a visiting professor at George Washington. I teach The Legal Profession/Professional Responsibility, Evidence, and Torts. I coauthored the Federal Standards of Review treatise, which may be ordered from LexisNexis.
