Her teaching and scholarship interests are in constitutional criminal law, law and literature, and experiential public service learning. When she joined the Mercer faculty in 2006, she created The Habeas Project, which provides pro bono representation in pro se cases pending before the Supreme Court of Georgia and in other cases presenting pressing constitutional issues. That clinic has briefed and argued more than 70 matters — including cases of first impression — and has won full or partial relief on behalf of many of its clients. She teaches Criminal Law, Law & Literature; Client Counseling; directs the Public Defender Externship; and enjoys teaching in summer programs both at Mercer and abroad.
