He is the author of "Illustrated Great Decisions of the Supreme Court", published in June 2000 by Congressional Quarterly Press. He also contributed chapters to three books: "A Year in the Life of the Supreme Court", which received the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award, "Reason and Passion", on Justice William Brennan, Jr., and "The Burger Court" edited by Bernard Schwartz. His 1998 stories on Supreme Court law clerks won a certificate of merit from the American Bar Association.

He is a former chairman of the Freedom of Information Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists.
