Among his interesting comments:
"Civil rights does not belong to lawyers--civil rights belongs to all of us."He is writing a book on Shakespeare and the Law and hopes to bring non-lawyers to have conversations about justice through the texts of Shakespeare. Previous writings include: The Lawyer of Belmont, 9 Yale J. L. & Humanities 183 (1997), Why Bush Is Our Most Shakespearean President (posted on the Slate blog), and Covering : the hidden assault on our civil rights (NY: Random House, 2006).
