As part of his LL.M. program, he studied International Human Rights and Refugee Law at New College, Oxford University in the summer of 2005. Attorney Erskine’s thesis entitled Reforming Federal Personal Injury Litigation by Incorporation of the Procedural Innovations of Scotland and Ireland: An Analysis and Proposal presented a new method for litigating personal injury cases in United States federal courts. The Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law published Attorney Erskine's thesis as the Lead Article in the Winter 2007 edition of the Journal. In addition, Attorney Erskine's independent research project focusing on the dispute between the United States and the European Union over European customs rules and regulations was published as the Florida Journal of International Law's lead article in 2006.


Initial Legal Training

Attorney Erskine completed his undergraduate legal education at Suffolk University Law School where he earned his Juris Doctor degree. After earning a staff position on the Journal of High Technology Law, an honor board, Attorney Erskine was elected as the Content Editor of the Journal for the 2002-2003 publication cycle. Attorney Erskine’s student note entitled Satellite Digital Audio Radio Searching for Novel Theories of Action and his book review entitled A Review of Raymond R. Coletta’s Biotechnology and the Creation of Ethics were selected for publication in the Journal by his peers. Attorney Erskine also earned the Harold Goodwin, Jr. Legal Advocacy Scholarship and Best Advocate Award. During Attorney Erskine's first year of law school, and every subsequent year, he competed nationally as a student attorney on the school’s mock trial teams. Attorney Erskine concluded his third year of law school by winning the school's intrascholastic mock trial competition. Finally, Attorney Erskine completed studies in Public International Law and Comparative Constitutional Law in London, England during the summer of 2001.
