I am an Assistant Professor in the Politics Department at Texas A&M University. I am interested in institutions, political economy, and the (historical and current) political economy of legal institutions. Current projects explore the political and economic determinants of access to justice, the unbiased provision of justice, and competition between multiple legal services providers.
I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from NYU, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and a B.A. from Carleton College.
