The Laws of Duplicate Contract Bridge

I have an avid interest in the laws of the game of bridge. This page contains links relating to the laws and to appeals committees which are called upon to interpret and apply those laws.

I am a member of the ACBL’s National Appeals Committee and a commentator for the Appeals Casebooks that are compiled after each NABC. I've also served as a commentator for the English Bridge Union and Welsh Bridge Union casebooks compiled by David Stevenson.
