Holly Maguigan
As a professor at NYU's School of Law, Holly Maguigan teaches clinics in criminal defense and comparative criminal justice, a seminar in global public service lawyering, and a course in evidence. She is an expert on the criminal trials of battered women. Her research and teaching are interdisciplinary. Of particular importance in her litigation and scholarship are the obstacles to fair trials experienced by people accused of crimes who are not part of the dominant culture. Professor Maguigan is a member of the Family Violence Prevention Fund's National Advisory Committee on Cultural Considerations in Domestic Violence cases. She serves on the boards of directors of the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women and the William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice. She is also co-president of the Society of American Law Teachers, the largest membership organization of law professors in the U.S.
