I am Horace T. Morse Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Law and have published 48 articles or chapters and six books including SCOTUS and COVID: How the Media Reacted to the Livestreaming of Supreme Court Oral Arguments (2023), Oral Arguments and Coalition Formation on the U.S. Supreme Court (2012), A Good Quarrel (2009), Oral Arguments and Decision Making on the U.S. Supreme Court (2004). Findings from many of these projects, along with my legal and political commentary, have appeared in The Economist, The Guardian, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal (see my vita or media page for a full list). Practitioners, including members of the Illinois Supreme Court and its clerks, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and The Advocates Society of Canada and Canadian Supreme Court, have sought my expertise.
I have mentored 15 graduate students and have overseen more than 200 undergraduate research projects (including 10 UROPS). In 2018 I was a semi-finalist for the Robert F. Cherry Award for Great Teaching and won the American Political Science Association's Distinguished Teaching Award.
