Michael’s article, The Solicitor General Unbound: Amicus Curiae Activism and Deference in the Supreme Court, 45 Ariz. St. L.J. 1183 (2013), was highlighted in the Academic Round-Up section of the Scotusblog on January 28, 2014.

MIchael was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief of legal scholars filed in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Haliburton Co. v. Erica P. John Fund., No. 13-317. The case will be orally argued in March. The brief concerns issues of statutory construction and cites Michael’s article, The Next Word: Congressional Response to Supreme Court Statutory Decisions, 65 Temp. L. Rev. 425 (1992) (with James L. Walker).
