- Served as court-appointed amicus counsel defending the order of the Honorable Charles B.

- The Supreme Court’s power of judicial review grants it tremendous sway in the governing process, allowing it to shape and influence the law even when its decisions are contrary to the majority of the public’s opinion. Nevertheless, this power is neither unlimited nor unchecked. Because the Court’s boundaries are defined by an amendable Constitution, the American people and their elected representatives can essentially veto Supreme Court decisions through the Article V amendment process. However, even after the many hundreds of controversial and unpopular decisions that the Supreme Court has rendered since the Founding, only four rulings have ever been the impetus behind an amendment veto. Typically, scholars point to the difficulty of the Article V process to explain why Americans practically never use it to overturn rulings of the Supreme Court. This article questions that general theory. Examining France’s version of Article V, the rigor present in that procedure, and the fact that the French have still managed to use their amendment process to overturn their constitutional court’s decisions eleven times in the last forty years, this article concludes that the difficulty of the process cannot be the sole reason for America’s failure to challenge the Supreme Court through amendments. Comparing the French and American systems, this article finds that American institutional and cultural characteristics, including the make-up and function of its Supreme Court, as well as American attitudes regarding the Court and the Constitution, are the primary reasons for the United States’ reluctance to turn to the Article V process to reverse the Court’s decisions., Author, Article V versus Article 89: Why the U.S. Does Not Overturn Supreme Court Rulings through Amendment, Syracuse Law Review, 2012
- In the United States, the law prohibits the government from torturing its citizens. U.S. law also prohibits the government from sending its citizens to another country where they would likely be tortured. These two scenarios seeminglycovered all possible ways that the U.S. government could bring about the torture of its own citizens - until Munaf v. Geren, 553 U.S. 674 (2008). In Munaf, the Supreme Court posed an intriguing question: Does the law also forbid the U.S.government from transferring custody of an American citizen to a country that will likely torture him, when the U.S. government was maintaining custody of that citizen within, and at the permission of, the country that engages in torture? This Article seeks to definitively close this possible loophole through two points of attack. First, it looks to emerging theories on the extra territorial application of the Constitution and concludes that Fifth Amendment Substantive Due Process extends beyond America's borders to protect her citizens from any government action that would lead to their torture. Second, this Article explores the federal law that ostensibly leaves open the possibility for torture and, after analyzing its drafters' intent as well as the international conflicts that a pro-torture interpretation would cause, concludes that any loophole found is false., Author, Tying Off All Loose Ends: Protecting American Citizens from Torture beyond America’s Borders, Yale Human Rights & Development Law Journal, 2012
- Over the last fifteen years, several European countries have adopted or updated legislation allowing class action lawsuits. This has incited significant debate over whether a class action mechanism should be available across the European Union for victims of antitrust violations. The following Article addresses this debate, which has entered a final stage with the White Paper on damages actions for breach of the European Community antitrust rules, published in 2008 by the European Commission. First, this Article explores how the implementation of a class action mechanism has become essential to European antitrust law, and addresses the caution that must be used in its development. It shows that an antitrust class action suit is not only desirable, but also necessary under European law, and that the mechanisms currently available to antitrust victims are insufficient to obtain relief. Then, this Article introduces a new form of class action, adapted to the needs and legal traditions of Europe. This mechanism combines the opt-out and opt-in systems, using the amount of potential individual damages as a criterion for differentiation. The purpose of this proposal is not only to counter classic class action flaws, abusive litigation and principal-agent problems, but also to maintain an optimal deterrent to discourage possible antitrust offenders., Co-Author, Pour une action collective européenne dans le droit de la concurrence, Revue québécoise de droit international, 2011
