His published works include articles on Chinese civil society reforms and citizen petitioning institutions, and he has lectured on these subjects to academic and government audiences.

Other professional experiences include practicing intellectual property law as an attorney for McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen and serving as a judicial clerk for the Judge Raymond Clevenger of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Before beginning law school, Mr. Minzner spent two years in Taiwan and mainland China, teaching English, studying Chinese, and traveling extensively in western China.
