I am a Professor at the University of Alabama School of Law, where I focus on immigration law and administrative law. My scholarship has been published in journals including the California Law Review, the Columbia Law Review, the North Carolina Law Review, and the American Journal of Law and Equality. I attended Stanford University, where I studied economics and political theory, and I graduated from Harvard Law School.
I worked at a large law firm in San Francisco for a couple of years after graduating from law school. I then moved east again, this time for a federal district court clerkship with the Hon. Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia. I loved clerking; it was probably the best professional experience I’ve had. After my clerkship, I joined the Staff Attorney’s Office at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, where I assisted the court with immigration, prisoners’ rights, and habeas corpus cases. For several years after that, I taught legal skills courses. At UA Law, I have taught Immigration Law, Administrative Law, Legislation & Regulation, and a seminar on citizenship law and policy.
