Marsha Griggs featured in Harvard Law School Symposium

Professor Griggs, an advocate and legal profession scholar, will participate in a Harvard Law School Center for Legal Profession conference on inclusion, identity, and ethics in legal education.

Professor Marsha Griggs, who serves as the president of the Association of Academic Support Educators, will appear on the panel “Indivisible Pieces of the Preparation for Law Practice: NLR Perspectives on Clinical, Legal Writing, Doctrinal, Ethics, and Interdisciplinary Pedagogy”.

The panel is part of the two-day conference, held by Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession entitled “Widening the Lens of Justice: A 20th Anniversary New Legal Realism Conference on Inclusion, “Bleached Out” Identity, and Ethics in Legal Education.”

Professor Griggs has a forthcoming article in the Washington University Journal of Law & Policy on the NextGen bar examination and has recently published in the Washington & Lee Law Review on self-regulation in the legal profession. 

She is vocal in the fight against caste systems and status issues in legal education and recently penned a letter to the ABA Council of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar advocating for the security of position for non-tenured “staff” members who teach and serve in law schools.

Professor Griggs is a recipient of the Trailblazer Award from the AALS Section on Academic Support. She is admitted to practice in Colorado and Texas. Before law teaching, she practiced commercial litigation and was inducted into the Texas Jury Verdicts Hall of Fame.
