Judy Rabinovitz is an Adjunct Professor of Law at New York University School of Law and the Deputy Director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. Since joining the ACLU in 1988, she has been involved in litigating class action cases that address various issues affecting the rights of immigrants. In recent years, her work has heavily focused on advocacy litigation challenging immigration detention policies and practices. Rabinovitz played a leading role in the indefinite detention litigation that resulted in the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Zadvydas v. Davis. This case and its subsequent litigation were crucial in ensuring the application of the decision for indefinitely detained Mariel Cubans. Furthermore, she coordinated a nationwide litigation campaign to challenge the mandatory immigration detention statute that Congress enacted as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act in 1996, culminating in the Supreme Court case Demore v. Kim, which she argued in 2003. She teaches a Contemporary Issues in Immigration Law seminar, focusing on current issues in immigration law, aimed at students interested in becoming knowledgeable advocates in this field.
