Research Background
David graduated from college with a degree in accounting (Penn State, 1957) and finished law school three years later (Villanova Law School, 1960). Before David started practicing law, he decided that he should obtain an education in many subjects, including history, literature, economics, sociology, psychology, politics and philosophy.
David was admitted to Wadham College in Oxford University arriving there in September 1960. He attended lectures and started reading books in the subjects above. The law tutor in Wadham College, Mr. P.B. Carter, called David to his office and informed him that he needed to work under the supervision of a tutor.
David was attending the lectures of Professor H.L.A. Hart, who was the Professor of Jurisprudence. He approached Hart after a lecture and asked him if he would be David's tutor. They discussed the subjects that David wanted to study, and Hart agreed to tutor David. They met weekly for the 1960-61 academic year and talked about many subjects.
After the first year, Hart informed David that he only worked with graduate students. Hart tested David's ability to be a graduate student by assigning him to read his book The Concept of Law and providing a critique. Hart said that he thought David's critique of his book included some important points that they should continue discussing during the school year and he declared that David was now a graduate student and that he should write a thesis for the D.Phil. degree.
They met for a second year, continuing some of the discussions left over from the prior year, touching upon many of the issues in The Concept of Law and developing the ideas that became part of David's doctoral thesis. David finished the thesis after the second year with Hart and received the D.Phil. degree after the oral defense of his thesis in April 1963.
Following his completion of his Doctorate in Philosophy, David served as a law clerk for a Court of Common Pleas judge for one year. After that year, he spent a post-doc year at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico studying with Professor Luis Recasens Siches. He then served a second clerkship with the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County for one year. He began practicing law in 1964 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. During the years 1967 to 1972, David taught political science at Rider College. During the years 1972-1975, David taught jurisprudent as an adjunct professor at Villanova Law School.
David wrote his first book Exclusionary Zoning Litigation in 1976. In 2017, he authored a second book Finding the Genetic Cause and Therapy for ADHD, Autism and 22Q which details the discovery of a genetic cause and drug therapy for ADHD, autism and 22q, which will allow patients to control their symptoms for these three diseases. Huge Jam published the first book in the Creative Positivist series, The Judge and the Umpire in 2022. The 2nd book in the series, The Judge and the Creative Positivist followed in 2023.
