Professor Tuerkheimer's Work In Domestic Violence Continues To Receive National Attention

Professor Deborah Tuerkheimer's important work in domestic violence continues to receive national attention. Since the United States Supreme Court granted cert. in California v. Giles, Professor Tuerkheimer has been asked to serve as a consultant on the national domestic violence amicus brief, and she has also agreed to assist the state of California. Her article, "Crawford's Triangle: Domestic Violence and the Right of Confrontation," has been cited in an amicus brief already before the Court. In addition, two of Deb's articles - Recognizing and Remedying the Harm of Battering: A Call to Criminalize Domestic Violence and Conceptualizing Violence Against Pregnant Women - have been reprinted in the leading case book on domestic violence (Domestic Violence and the Law: Theory and Practice by Elizabeth Schneider, Cheryl Hanna, Judith Greenberg, and Clare Dalton (Foundation 2008)).
