Florida Family Law Bounds of Advocacy

I recently completed and submitted this journal article.

This discussion covers the development of the Family Law Bounds of Advocacy, as well as the collaborative family law process. I argue that the Florida Bar should consider the BoA as mandatory for family lawyers and that given the parallels between the philosophies of the BoA and collaborative practice, all Florida family management attorneys should offer collaborative process as the first resolution method for marital and family legal issues.

Section 504 and Transgender Rights

This piece was written in 2010, prior to the most recent amendment to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. Fortunately, this issue is almost moot, 8 years later.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: A Double-edged Sword for the Protection of Students with Gender Identity Disorder

Welcome

Thanks for visiting my site. This is my place on the web, separate from office and separate from fiction writing, to grow my writing skills and explore legal topics that fascinate me.

In some capacity or another, I’ve been a teacher since high school. I enjoy teaching evidence at the University of West Florida and look forward to soon finding a permanent home in the academy.

If there’s a legal topic of interest to you, let’s talk about it.
