taught in the areas of civil society and public policy (for undergraduates) and nonpro t/NGO policy (for MPAs). I no longer teach legal history (since the eld is so ably handled by Dirk), but I continue to be keenly interested in both U.S. law and legal policy as a major focus of research and teaching interest. For that reason, making my o ce-home with LAPA is ideal, since it means that I am now surrounded by scholars (both on the Princeton faculty and in the LAPA visitors community), and I can enjoy the sorts of intellectual relationships that I bene ed from both at Chicago, Penn and Cardozo (where I taught brie y while at ACLS).
My research focus these days is primarily in the eld of philanthropy, and especially in the study of the recent phenomenon of mega- foundations, the huge new private philanthropic foundations that currently are having such a major impact on U.S. public policy. M interest here is more on policy than law, although I am particularly interested in recent (and forthcoming) changes in the law of charities. I’ll a ach my most recent paper, wri en with a former graduate student at Columbia, Ben Soskis), to indicate the sorts of concerns I am exploring. For all of this, LAPA is an ideal place to live and work!

You can argue that the study of law is only worthwhile in the context of its practice—a law school position which I think both is right in a narrow sense and very wrong in a broader sense. LAPA at its best o ers the broader sense: an understanding of law and legal discourse in debate with other approaches to justice and social meaning. So a er admiring LAPA from afar—by which I mean some campus distance away—I am pleased and proud to be part of its immediate community. I hope to be able to continue to think about the meaning of a study of law from outside its perimeter.
