Publications

Research, writing, and public scholarship are central to my work.

My publications examine constitutional enforcement, institutional accountability, procedural decision-making, and the gap between formal legal protections and their practical application.

While the subjects vary, the underlying focus remains consistent:

Understanding how systems operate in practice and what those realities reveal about accountability, power, and outcomes.

Research & Long-Form Analysis

In addition to published books, my work includes extensive research and analysis addressing:

  • Constitutional enforcement
  • Institutional accountability
  • Prosecutorial power
  • Appellate review
  • Post-conviction procedure
  • Government oversight
  • Administrative decision-making
  • Structural barriers to corrective review

Works In Progress

Current projects continue to explore questions of accountability, institutional behavior, oversight failures, and the relationship between formal rules and real-world outcomes.

Reclaiming the Sixth Amendment

How the Structure of the Criminal Justice System Recognizes the Right to Counsel but Never Enforces It

This book examines the gap between the constitutional right to counsel and the mechanisms responsible for enforcing that right. It explores how procedural structures, appellate review, post-conviction litigation, and institutional incentives often prevent meaningful review of constitutional violations.

Available in paperback and eBook:

“The Sixth Amendment does not fail because it is ignored. It fails because it is operationalized in a system designed to bypass it.”
