Publications

"Does the 1L Curriculum Make a Difference?," (with Jing Liu and Joshua C. Teitelbaum), Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works. 2465., 2022.

Studies whether Georgetown’s Curriculum B—an alternative to the standard 1L curriculum offered at the vast majority of law schools—yields measurable differences in student outcomes.

"Regulating Health Care: Perspectives from Government Failure During the COVID-19 Pandemic" (with Charles Silver). DePaul Law Review 71 (2022): 361-391.

Focuses on the failures of public health experts/professionals in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services—particularly the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in responding to COVID-19. Posits that if this agency was not up to the task of responding with a minimum amount of competence and diligence to COVID-19, then the case for expecting government to correct market failures without making things worse becomes far more tenuous.

"Evaluation of Unreimbursed Medicaid Costs among Nonprofit and For-Profit U.S. Hospitals" (with Ge Bai and Hossein Zare). JAMA Network Open 5, no. 2 (2022): e2148232.

Used 2019 Medicare cost report data to examine unreimbursed Medicaid costs among nonprofit and for-profit U.S. hospitals.

"Medical Malpractice and Physician Discipline: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (with Mohammad Hossein Rahmati and Bernard S. Black). Journal of Empirical Legal Studies 18 (2021): 131-166.

Studies the overlap between the medical malpractice (“med mal”) and medical disciplinary systems, using the records of Illinois physicians who held an active license at any point from 1990-2012.
