Thank you to Mark and Marc for inviting me to join them on the CLR Forum this month!

Although my private practice experience has been in the field of corporate and securities litigation, I have long maintained an amateur’s interest in the First Amendment’s religion clauses (ever since my 1998 law school Note on the priest-penitent privilege). Since entering academia in 2006, I have wed the two areas to some extent, writing on the intersection of business law and virtue, and have attempted to apply natural law reasoning to issues of economic regulation.

I have looked forward to this opportunity for some time, and hope that the Forum’s readership finds my participation worthwhile.
