He has testified before Congress and state legislatures, authored leading legal scholarship and spoken at judicial conferences. He works with the Progressive Policy Institute on providing a center-left voice on civil justice issues, has been named special counsel to a project of the National Association of Manufacturers on why litigation against energy manufacturers over climate change is misguided, and is a member of the American Law Institute, providing input on several Restatement projects.

He received his law degree from George Washington University Law School, where he was Order of the Coif, and his bachelor of arts, cum laude, from Tufts University.
