She holds the Doherty Chair in Legal Ethics at the University of Houston Law Center where she teaches ethics, constitutional law, and a writing seminar on gender, power, law, and leadership. She is the author of three casebooks, more than 20 law review articles, and the highly-acclaimed book Shortlisted: Women in the Shadows of the Supreme Court. She is a regular contributor to print media outlets including CNN Opinion, The Hill, Law360, Ms. Magazine, and New York Daily News.

A Fulbright recipient and elected member of the American Law Institute, she regularly consults on matters related to lawyer/judicial ethics, gender diversity in leadership roles, and the first amendment and lawyer speech.
