Professor of Law ( 1995-present ), Associate Professor of Law (1988-1995), Georgetown Law.
I direct the First Amendment and Media Project (formerly known as the Citizens
Communications Center Project) at the Institute for Public Representation. The Institute is both a
public interest law firm and a clinical program at Georgetown Law. The Institute serves as
counsel for nonprofit organizations at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and in federal courts. Some of the issues that we have worked
on over the past several years include media ownership, children and media, access to
communications services for persons with disabilities, and public interest requirements for
broadcast stations.
I supervise graduate fellows and upperclass law students. Clinic students have
opportunities to conduct legal and factual research, engage in sophisticated analysis, do extensive
legal writing, interact with clients and other counsel, and participate in case planning and
developing strategy. I also teach classes for the clinical students on such topics as how lawyers
use the media, statutory interpretation, administrative rulemaking, and legal writing.
In addition to teaching in the clinic, I have on occasion taught a seminar on Comparative
Media Law at Georgetown Law. I also taught in the summer program of the Programme in
Comparative Media Law and Policy at Oxford University in 1998, 1999 and 2001.
Professional Experience:

AT&T. Reviewed proposed mergers involving communications firms. Drafted comments filed in
