Paul Boudreaux teaches and writes on topics that may be bundled as "law and geography." This term includes property law, land use regulation, environmental law, and natural resources protection, and spills over into constitutional law, race and gender politics, and other issues. He is interested in how law shapes behavior and community to foster - or hinder - human happiness and the environment. Recent articles have addressed the government's power of eminent domain, federal endangered species act prosecution, and the persistence of social segregation. In early 2006, he plans to finish a work on how a wider conception of "impact fees" could help build better communities, foster the goals of new urbanism, and protect the natural environment. A list of publications is printed below. He also writes frequently for the popular press. He received his J.D. at the University of Virginia School of Law, where he was executive editor of the Virginia Law Review and was selected for the Order of the Coif. He was later awarded an LL.M. degree from the Georgetown University Law Center. Before law school, he received his B.A. at the University of Virginia, studied economics as a graduate fellow at the University of Wisconsin, and edited a newsletter on consumer credit law. After clerking for the late Judge George Revercomb of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, he worked at the U.S. Department of Justice, where he litigated civil cases in federal courts across the nation for more than a decade. He taught at Tulane University and the University of Richmond before coming to Stetson in 2003.
