Bio:
I spent seven years in law practice before joining the faculty at Touro Law School in Central Islip, New York. I have been teaching Legal Process, the first year legal research and writing course, since 2003 and, in 2010, I proposed and developed the course Cybercrime which I have been teaching since its adoption. With an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, I have combined my interest in technology with my interest in the law by creating this popular elective course. In Cybercrime, law students study issues involving technology and the applicability of the Fourth Amendment, statutory regulations in obtaining stored data, cyberbullying, stalking, harassment and more.
In June of 2014, the United States Supreme Court ruled on whether cell phones found incident to a lawful arrest may be searched without a warrant. See Riley v. California, 134 S.Ct. 2473 (2014). I appeared on the Touro Law School radio show, On the Docket, to discuss and answer questions about this case.
