Appellate work
Briefs where structure and framing carry the argument.
Appellate samples belong here when publication is appropriate because they show issue selection, organization, standard-of-review work, and disciplined record-based argument.
Representative writing
Curated briefs, filings, and writing samples.
This page is for public, redacted, or otherwise safely shareable written work. Its purpose is to show how serious legal arguments are framed on paper without turning confidential litigation work into a repository.
What this page is for
Trial-court briefing
Motions and responses in serious litigation.
Dispositive motions, evidentiary briefing, expert challenges, and other high-stakes trial-court work can help show how the writing handles pressure, posture, and timing.
Context notes
Samples should explain the assignment, not just display the PDF.
The most useful representative work includes a short explanation of the posture, strategic problem, and why the sample is worth reading.
How representative writing differs from the other public pages
Insights
Public legal analysis.
The Insights page is the substantive article library. It explains legal issues in public without pretending to be a filing archive.
View insightsPublications & Talks
Thought leadership and public authority.
Books, talks, interviews, and related public work show broader habits of mind and public-facing authority rather than work-product samples.

Curated work product.
This page is for actual writing samples where confidentiality, redaction, and publication judgment have already been worked through.
Back to For LawyersPublication standard
Curated and cleared.
Only public, redacted, or otherwise safely shareable work belongs here. The page should reflect the same judgment as the underlying litigation work.
Current approach
Selective publication, not volume for its own sake.
Some matters are better discussed directly with co-counsel than published online. This page is meant to hold a smaller number of stronger, context-rich samples over time.
Lawyer inquiry
If you want to discuss an assignment, use the contact page and identify it as lawyer-facing.
The most useful first message gives the current posture, upcoming deadlines, and the narrowest practical description of the writing help needed.
