He is director of the Hugh M.

He served part-time as the director of professional development for the Atlanta law firm of King & Spalding, assisting that firm in developing its associate training program. He also helped produce two videotape-based educational programs on legal ethics, one for prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers, the other involving representation of clients in the healthcare industry.
