Michael Scott
I am a practicing lawyer and professor of criminal justice. I am also a pop culture junkie. My articles and writing interests fall anywhere from constitutional law to fringe horror movies. I'll be writing articles on all of those topics and hopefully more.
I received my B.S. in Social Science from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, which is also where I currently teach. I received my J.D. from Emory University in Atlanta. I am a former prosecutor and community outreach specialist.
My whole life I have also loved pop culture, specifically movies and music, and love writing about them. I'll be contributing articles on those topics as well. Hopefully I will be writing about music and movies that somewhat stray from the beaten path so readers can find something they haven't seen or heard before.
