Dear Mr. Christopher:
~~c~,'v~o
APR 5 1997
We,
..... • 8 Of·r::dC£
I am writing to inquire about the possibility of serving as
counsel to the Commission created by Mayor Bradley to investigate
the Los Angeles Police Department.
As a Justice Department Civil Rights Division attorney for
three years, I supervised investigations of prisons, jails, and
juvenile facilities under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized
Persons Act. These cases frequently involved allegations of the
existence of a pattern or practice of use of excessive force. I
handled a number of cases in California, including United States
v. County of Los Angeles, et al., 635 F. Supp. 588 (C.D. Cal.
1986).
I came to the Justice Department from Cambridge University,
where I earned a M. Phil. in Criminology from the Institute of
Criminology. I have twice taught Criminal Justice as a Visiting
Professor at Middlebury College (Vermont) during its Winter Term.
I graduated from Duke Law School in 1982, served as a law
clerk to a U.S. Court of Appeals judge for one year, and have
been a Justice Department attorney for over six years. Since
leaving the Civil Rights Division in 1987, I have served as a
trial attorney in the Environmental Enforcement Section of the
Environment and Natural Resources Division.
I am taking the liberty of enclosing a resume. In the event
you believe I could be of service to the Commission, I would
appreciate your contacting me either at the above address or at
202-514-4076. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Enclosure
