He authored over 35 books and articles on these topics and wrote The Scrivener column for The South Carolina Lawyer magazine for over a decade.

He practiced law at Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C., and then served on the law faculty of Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey, before joining the University of South Carolina faculty in 1975.
