From 2004 to 2011, he was an associate professor at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, his law degree from Yale University and his master's degree from the University of Cambridge.

President Trump is pushing the boundaries of executive power in an effort to exert maximum control over the federal government. These power grabs have harmed the federal workforce, undermined executive agency missions, endangered service members in our military, and threaten the separation of powers that are the cornerstone of our constitutional order. How will the legislative and judicial branches respond? What if, through acquiescence or defiance, the Trump administration succeeds in breaching the separation of powers?

Join the ACS law student chapter at American University Washington College of Law and ACS National for a discussion about what happens next and how we can meet this moment."
