During the past 30 years, I practiced law as a litigating attorney in the areas of civil rights, employment, and health law. I recently retired from the practice of law. I held the position of General Counsel of a state agency for part of the time I practiced law.

I have also written many high-level papers in state government and edited others' written work. Some of the papers for which I was responsible were co-written by college students, whom I also taught many writing skills.
