Her current research interests center on activist methods and alternative processes, and whether and how law schools can meaningfully support community activism. Reynolds teaches civil procedure, conflicts of law, negotiation, and mediation. In addition to activism, she studies dispute systems design, problem-solving in multiparty scenarios, and cultural influences and implications of alternative processes. She serves as the faculty director of the nationally ranked, award-winning Oregon ADR Center, and is the co-chair of the Legal Education Policy Committee for the ABA Section on Dispute Resolution. Before law school, Reynolds worked as a systems analyst and associate director for information technology at the University of Texas at Austin.
