I am a senior appellate counsel at the Center for Appellate Litigation ("CAL"), a private, non-profit organization that represents indigent criminal defendants in their appeals after conviction in state court in Bronx and New York Counties.
I am a Co-Coordinator, along with David Klem, of CAL's Federal Litigation Unit, which is responsible for ensuring that CAL attorneys effectively bring habeas corpus cases in federal court.
I am an adjunct professor at Brooklyn Law School. Jan Hoth and I run a Criminal Defense Appeals Clinic in which we supervise students as they draft an appellate brief and argue the appeals in court.
I also teach an Advanced Federal Courts Colloquium for third-year students who have obtained federal court clerkships. That class focuses on judicial opinion writing, how the federal courts operate, and the practical experience of clerking.
