I am assistant professor of law at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California, where I have taught since 2005. I currently teach Wills & Trusts, Business Associations, and Critical Race Theory. I have also taught Securities Regulation.
My research and scholarship focuses mostly on a variety of racial justice issues, including civil rights; reparations and apology for slavery and Jim Crow; atonement and restorative justice; critical race theory; and Native Hawaiian rights. I also write on the topic of agency regulation; and on religious minorities, especially in the field of Mormon studies. My legal articles have been published in the Wisconsin Law Review, American University Law Review, University of San Francisco Law Review, Connecticut Law Review CONNtemplations, and Thomas Jefferson Law Review, and my scholarship on Mormon Studies has appeared in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. (Links to my articles can be found on the right sidebar.) I have presented my work at a variety of events, including colloquium talks at several law schools and other academic events, and as an invited panelist (multiple years) at the Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus.
I received my B.A. (cum laude) from Arizona State University and my J.D. from Columbia Law School, where I was a James Kent Scholar, a Harlan Fiske Stone scholar, and an articles editor for the Columbia Law Review. I clerked for judge Jack B. Weinstein in the Eastern District of New York, and practiced law in the New York office of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP.
I write online at the law blog Concurring Opinions and the Mormon-themed blog Times and Seasons.
