She is especially interested in procedural justice and the limits of due process. She currently is working on a book exploring lawyer resistance and cooptation in injustice, in addition to projects on civil procedure and mass litigation. The fourth edition of her casebook (with Stephen Subrin, Martha Minow , Mark Brodin, and Thomas Main), Civil Procedure: Doctrine, Practice, and Context, was recently released by Aspen Publishing.
