He is co-author of Common Law of the Workplace, a project of the National Academy of Arbitrators. He serves on Indiana's Public Employee Relations Board, which he chairs at the request of Governor O'Bannon. But it is his outstanding work in the classroom, especially the sharp-witted, intellectual skirmishes he conducts in his Contracts course, for which he is especially known. In addition to Contracts, he teaches Labor Law and Labor Arbitration.
