Eric has authored several articles for publication. Recently, a newsletter of the American Bar Association Section of Litigation published his article, Five Tips for the Persuasive Researcher, discussing research tips for motion practice. Eric also has been published in the Cleveland State Law Review. His article, Driving Through the Dense Fog: Analysis of and Proposed Changes to Ohio Tortious Interference Law, 55 Clev. St. L. Rev. 339 (2007), analyzes when a person or business may lawfully interfere with the contracts or business relationships of others, and it proposes four changes to Ohio law. The proposals are primarily based on public policies that promote competition, that protect the legal rights of parties to binding contracts, and that protect the expectancy interests of parties to terminable at will business relationships. Last, Eric wrote a Note during law school, Reconsidering the Mythical Advantages of Cohabitation: Why Marriage Is More Efficient Than Cohabitation, 78 Ind. L.J. 1069 (2003).
