Expertise
Though I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I now live in Newport Beach. While at UCLA (B.A. 1987), I majored in English and earned departmental honors for a thesis on the works of T.S. Eliot. After college, my interests took a more South Campus turn. I began studying computers and technological issues while I earned my law degree from Boalt Hall in Berkeley (J.D. 1990). Today, I practice appellate and technology law, primarily on a consulting basis. Weblogs I write or have written include Bag and Baggage, Lawgarithms, Between Lawyers, and The Industry Standard. I write the Dicta column in The American Lawyer magazine on a bi-monthly basis. I also host an audio series at TWiT.tv called this WEEK in LAW, and another one at IT Conversations called Sound Policy. I am a member of the Identity Gang, a board member of the Attention Trust, and on the advisory boards of Lisensa/Top Ten Media and the Law & Policy Institutions Guide. I am a past President and Board member of Commercial Real Estate Women of Orange County, and a member of the Council of Appellate Lawyers, as well as the American, Orange County (Appellate Section) and Los Angeles County (Appellate Courts Committee) bar associations.
