Teaching

I draw on my experience in legal practice and my interdisciplinary background to teach doctrinal courses on civil procedure and trusts and estates. I have also taught courses on statistics for lawyers and access to justice. By incorporating multiple formative assessments and innovative classroom activities, I deepen students’ understanding of how legal rules and standards apply to real world scenarios. By introducing relevant empirical research, I enhance students’ grasp of the significance and dynamism of doctrinal law. I was named UCI Law 1L Professor of the Year for Procedural Analysis (Civil Procedure) in 2023 and have been nominated for both 1L and Upper Level Professor of the Year in other years.

Prior to joining UCI Law, I taught courses on professional responsibility and the sociology of law at Cornell University. In addition, I served as teaching assistant for both theoretical and skills-based courses for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students while in graduate school. I received a Citation for Excellence in Teaching from the Department of Sociology for my work as teaching assistant for Linear Models (a graduate statistics course).
