I am an adjunct Professor in Steve Lubet's Trial Advocacy Class. The class develops litigation skills through students' presentation of solutions to problems at weekly class sessions. The problems require students to examine witnesses; introduce physical, documentary, and other types of evidence; present and challenge the testimony of expert witnesses; present opening and closing arguments; and select a jury. In addition to regularly weekly problem preparation and classroom presentations, each student is responsible for the preparation and trial of a mock civil or criminal case before a jury. Students' performances are evaluated by faculty, practicing trial attorneys, and judges. This course is designed to maximize the development of decision-making and analytical ability. The various problems emphasize the importance of theory choice by lawyers, as well as the interrelationships among the rules of trial procedure, evidence, and legal ethics.

I teach an seminar on Intellectual Property Litigation. This 3 credit course provides a framework for exploring complex federal civil litigation practice. The course will provide both insights into the practice of the trial lawyer as well as analysis of central intellectual property law concepts. Using case studies, we examine issues such as the tactical and practical dimensions of preliminary injunction practice; the use of experts to address specialized subject matter, including the use of market research surveys to prove consumer perception; availability of equitable remedies; and persuasive trial presentation of complex facts.
