  I think a lot about the intersection of design-thinking and law, particularly the better design of legal educational materials. I write a lot about the concept of "acceptable deviance," meaning behavior that is illegal but normatively acceptable. http://ssrn.com/author=599396. I teach Property, Real Estate Transactions and Constitutional Criminal Procedure. I was voted Professor of the Year by student body for 2007-2008, 2010-2011, 2013-2014 and 2015-2016.

ChartaCourse

• Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

• Founder & CEO

  • 2013 - Present

  ChartaCourse takes entire law school courses and formats them as content-embedded concept maps. The charts are pedagogically superior to casebooks because they constantly, visually reinforce the relationships between critical concepts, they are updated in real time, and they are simultaneously more comprehensive and more flexible than casebooks. They are completely customizable by adopting professors. They contain all of the major cases found in casebooks and many more (all edited and redacted), plus dozens of background readings, practice problems, diagrams, flowcharts, and videos. They are authored by law professors from around the country. And they cost just $49 as compared to $250 for a casebook. Show less
