Class Information:

During the Fall Semester, I usually teach Criminal Law and Evidence. In the spring, I teach Administration of Criminal Justice I and Mediation and Arbitration. I have also taught Torts I, Torts II and Insurance Law.

The evidence texts are Harges and Jones’ Louisiana Evidence, Fourth Edition by Bobby Marzine Harges and Russell L. Jones (Thompson/West 2003), and Evidence Problems and Materials by Bobby Marzine Harges and Russell L. Jones (Lupus Publications 1998). Although students study the Louisiana Code of Evidence, students are also taught the major differences between the Louisiana Code of Evidence and the Federal Rules of Evidence. The criminal law textbook is Louisiana Criminal Law, Cases and Materials by Bobby Marzine Harges (2003).

The text I use in the Mediation and Arbitration class varies. I generally use a different textbook each spring semester. In the Administration of Criminal Justice class, I use the latest edition of Criminal Procedure and the Constitution, Leading Supreme Court Cases and Introductory Text by Israel, Kamisar, and Lafave.

From time to time, I supervise, along with a Clinical Professor, students in the Loyola Mediation Clinic and the Loyola Mediation Program. In both programs, students mediate cases with live clients either in a small claims court or other institutional setting.
