Personal Statement

I am working on a range of books and articles. Examples include a series of articles on the role and regulation of prosecutorial discretion, including an empirical evaluation of prosecutorial decisionmaking, following on the initial work published in The Screening/Bargaining Tradeoff (2002). At a more general theoretical level, this work deals with policymaking within executive branch agencies, especially in those areas not readily amenable to external judicial (or other) review. My environmental work highlights topics at the intersection of law and biology, with special attention to the concepts of conservation and sustainability, and to the relationship between science and environmental policymaking and environmental decisions.
