About the authors

Richard Seamon

University of Idaho

Professor Seamon joined the University of Idaho in 2004, having previously taught at the University of South Carolina School of Law and Washington and Lee Law School. He teaches Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, and Federal Courts. He also served as the associate dean for administration and students from 2006-2009. Before he became a law professor, Professor Seamon practiced law for about ten years. In 1986, he clerked for Kenneth W. Starr on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Later, he worked as an associate at the Washington, D.C. law firm Covington & Burling, and he served in the U.S. Department of Justice as an assistant to the Solicitor General of the United States. While at the Justice Department, Professor Seamon presented oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court in fifteen cases. Professor Seamon has written two books on administrative law and many law review articles on issues of constitutional law and other public law subjects. Professor Seamon received his J.D. from Duke Law School and holds a B.A. and an M.A. from Johns Hopkins University.

Alan Palmiter

none

Alan Palmiter has a national and international reputation as a teacher-scholar of corporate law, securities regulation, sustainable corporations, energy law, and legal valuation. He has authored top-selling textbooks on Corporations and Securities Regulation. His articles have been widely published, and many have been republished as among the best corporate securities law articles of the year.

James Brook

New York Law School

After graduating cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1972, Professor Brook joined a general corporate practice firm in Boston. In 1975, he was awarded a Bigelow Teaching Fellowship at the University of Chicago Law School and found teaching law students the art of research and legal writing extremely rewarding. Offered a position at New York Law School in 1976, he came to New York, a city in which he had always wanted to live, to use his legal training in a way he had always found most personally rewarding — teaching.

Professor Brook's field is commercial law, and it is his first-year classes that he consistently finds most interesting and challenging. About 10 years ago, Professor Brook began writing the first of his three very successful Examples and Explanations books for Aspen Publishing on three major areas of law: secured transactions, payment systems, and sales and leases. His first book, A Lawyer's Guide to Probability and Statistics (Carswell, 1990), utilized his math background — he was a Phi Beta Kappa math major at Harvard — to shed some light on a field where a great deal of fact-finding and proof in litigation is based on probability and statistics. A 1981–82 Finkelstein Fellow at Columbia Law School, where he pursued studies in the area of probability and statistics and the law, he received his LL.M. from Columbia in 1983. Professor Brook's Examples and Explanations books, which he updates approximately every three years, rely on his colloquial and humorous style of writing and teaching, a style that he maintains makes commercial law far more accessible and less intimidating than it might otherwise be. His most recent addition to the collection is Secured Transactions: Examples & Explanations, Fourth Edition (Aspen Publishing, 2008).

Stephen M. McJohn

Professor of Law

Suffolk University Law School

Stephen M. McJohn is a Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School. Professor McJohn has joined as co-author on Douglas Whaley’s Commercial Law casebooks.

His scholarly work has been widely cited by courts and in law journal articles.

Robert M. Bloom, Professor of Law, has had legal experience in legal services, civil rights law, and as a criminal attorney, both a defense lawyer and prosecutor. He also has been a court-appointed master on complicated civil cases. He is the author of numerous publications in the area of criminal procedure and civil procedure.
