He has pioneered trauma-informed approaches to civil rights litigation and critiques the inadequacies of current legal canons in addressing marginalized communities. His interdisciplinary work integrates historical analysis, sociocultural context, and clinical pedagogy to reimagine antiracist and equitable legal practices.
