- Curriculum Vitae
I have always been particularly interested in the application of computer-mediated communication and social networking technologies among producers and consumers of legal information. My research interests focus on social media and social networking technologies, from email and listservs to websites, blogs, digital audio and video, and emerging technologies like Twitter. I am a founding member of the Projecting Law: Law and New Media Program and Director of the Program on Law and Social Technologies of the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy associated with the University at Buffalo Law School. I produce the UBLaw Faculty Conversations Podcast. For fun I also do a more or less weekly podcast called The Shadow and James Show. I participate in a group blog, Out of the Jungle, and several other blog projects.
From 2000 to 2008 I was Director of the Law Library and Vice Dean for Legal Information Services. Prior to UB, I worked as Head of Computing Services at Saint Louis University School of Law, and Associate Director for Information and Technology at Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
