Greetings and Salutations

I want to thank Professor Dellenger for allowing me to join the Contract Law Profs community.  I also wish to say salutations.  One of my favorite books is Charlotte’s Web.  When Charlotte greets Wilbur for the first time, she says “salutations” explaining that “[s]alutations are greetings; it’s my fancy way of saying hello.”  So this is my fancy way of introducing myself.

As Professor Dellenger mentioned in her post, I am an Administrative Judge at the Federal Aviation Administration with a focus on government contract law and alternative dispute resolution.  I am a member of the American Law Institute, and, among other projects, am a member of the Members Consultive Group on the Restatement (Fourth) of Contracts: Consumer Contracts. In essence, I love contract law.  

I have an academic perspective on the law.  I enjoy writing law review articles, and you can find my woefully out of date SSRN page here.  I’ve been on the AALS market previously, but ended up choosing my current position.   I am not new to law blogging having been a guest over at PrawfsBlawg last December.

Among other topics, I plan to take a comparative approach and blog about some recent decisions in contract law by the UK Supreme Court.  I also will weigh in on the Brexit vote and its aftermath from the perspective of the Lisbon Treaty.
