About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Location Philadelphia, PA, United States
Introduction I have been involved in paralegal education for over twenty years - I started teaching part time almost as soon as I got out of law school - and loved it so much that I gradually realized that I wanted to do this full time. In my past life practicing law, I focused on civil litigation and employment law. Now I am squarely in academia and in more recent years I have taken on more administrative responsibilities. I am the Chair of the Social Science Department and the Director of the Fox, Rothschild Center for Law and Society and co-coordinate the Paralegal Program. On a personal level, my husband and I are owned by four mutts, Harri, Louie, Chico and Leo. How we ended up with four dogs is a long story and though we love them all, I think sixteen feet of canine critters is alot!
Favorite Movies My favorite law movies include Witness for the Prosecution and A Civil Action. I'm not a big Erin Brocovitch fan - although I know everyone loved that movie!
