He has represented thousands of Baltimore City foster children in a long-standing federal class action since 1988, is co-counsel for plaintiffs in a long-running case addressing constitutional requirements for funding of public education, and has successfully litigated a statewide constitutional right to legal representation at all bail proceedings.
