Welcome!

My research explores the intersection of law and game theory, with a focus on developing mathematically sound ways to make legal decision-making more accurate, consistent, and fair. Toward that end, I have devised a new form of arbitration and designed a new committee selection method in order to produce outcomes that better reflect what the median or average qualified decision-maker would award.
