The Law School welcomes Stephen Rushin, assistant professor of law.
Professor Rushin will teach Select Problems in Criminal Law: Policing in the fall. His research focuses on issues in criminal law, criminal procedure, information privacy law, and policing. He is currently working on a book entitled The Answer to Police Misconduct (in contract with the Cambridge University Press) that examines the Justice Department’s implementation of structural reform litigation in American police departments. His work has most recently appeared or is forthcoming in the Minnesota Law Review (job talk) and the Fordham Law Review.
Professor Rushin completed his Ph.D. at Berkeley in Jurisprudence and Social Policy, where he was a Selznick Fellow and recipient of the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Scholarship. He also received a J.D. from Berkeley, where he was a member of the California Law Review and received a Third Year High Distinction Award (top 10% of class), among other awards for academic performance. He also holds a B.A. from the University of Texas, where he graduated with high honors.
