I am an Associate Professor at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law.
I study access to justice. My work asks how the law and legal institutions work in real life. It a
lso aspires to improve the ability of law and legal institutions to actually create justice. Empirical research (quantitative and qualitative) and policy analysis are key tools in my scholarship. I draw upon and seek to contribute to the law and society and empirical legal studies traditions.
I teach and write in the fields of civil dispute resolution, legal ethics and professionalism, legal services regulation, and family law. I direct the Windsor Legal Practice Simulation, a week-long legal practice simulation in which all Windsor Law 1L students participate. I have received the Windsor Student Law Society Faculty Award for teaching, as well as the OBA Foundation Award and others.

My book Accessibility, Quality, and Profitability for Personal Plight Law Firms: Hitting the Sweet Spot is available free from the Canadian Bar Association.
