My Story

The Change I Want to See in the World
I want to see naturally quiet individuals embrace the power in silence, and amplify our voices authentically when we need to make ourselves heard. I want to see law students and lawyers redefining what it means to have "character and fitness" to practice law, and what it means to be a "success" in the legal profession.
Books That Greatly Influenced My Life
The Artist's Way (Julia Cameron); Quiet (Susan Cain)
Fun Facts About Me
I've attended 25+ U2 concerts in 6 countries and can pretty much tie any conversation (or scholarly pursuit) back to a U2 lyric. I take boxing lessons. I study Italian.

Bio
Born in Virginia. Attended The University of Virginia, and The University of Virginia School of Law. Practiced law for almost two decades in Virginia, New York, and California. Have lived in New York for 20 years. Author of a bunch of boring legal textbooks...and two books that make me happy: The Introverted Lawyer, and Untangling Fear in Lawyering. I am currently a law professor in New York, and working on my third book on law student/lawyer well-being: The Flourishing Lawyer.
