Curriculum Vitae

Technical disclaimer: I apologize in advance to all my viewers not using Internet Explorer. Despite my best attempts, the only way I could preserve the formatting in my resume was to save it as a MIME html file (.mht extension). Firefox can't display .mht files on its own, unless you install a plug-in.

     As an alternative to Adobe Acrobat, please consider Foxit Reader. Not only is it free and a smaller install file than Acrobat, but Foxit loads faster too.

NOTE: If you're going to look at my resume or any of the writing samples I have below, I also encourage you to look at this posting in my Pulpit section on facts concerning my law school experience that you might be surprised to discover.

Writing Samples

Oh, as long as you're looking at my resume, why don't you take a peek at some of my writing samples too?

Let's see:

  1. A demur.

  2. A statutory synthesis memorandum (Wilson v. Stilwell)

  3. Another statutory synthesis memorandum (People v. Cowan)

Other writing samples which I will not post (lest my handiwork get stolen), but will gladly share with you if you invite me for an interview:

  1. A 30 page policy paper I wrote on how Broadband over Powerline (BPL) technology should be deployed in the US.

  2. Two 10 page briefing memos based on an amalgamation of several fact patterns I encountered while working at the US Bankruptcy Court in San Jose in 2008 and 2009. There are 2 memos because I took a basic fact pattern and tweaked it very slightly to get an entirely different conclusion even though the law is largely the same.

  3. A 25 page paper on hedge fund regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including (a) why it's necessary, (b) why the previous system didn't work ,and (c) how a new system could work.

  4. A 35 page paper on the antitrust implications of mergers between beer brewers, as represented by the 2008 merger of Anheuser-Busch, Inc of the US and InBev NV of Belgium. I was unable to condense the entire paper down to 10 pages, but if you're interested, I did break it down into two relatively-independent 10 page papers. One goes over the factors US antitrust regulators use to analyze mergers while the other goes over how beer brewer mergers may violate the Sherman Act, Section 7 of the Clayton Act, and the Robinson-Pattman Act unless the current law is changed.

  5. An approximately 50 page appellate brief for a hypothetical trademark infringement case I argued in a moot court competition. At the time, neither my partner nor I had any background in trademark law. We came in 6th place out of 29 teams.
