Biography

Nancy Morawetz joined the NYU School of Law faculty in 1987. She teaches the Immigrant Rights Clinic, an innovative program that combines litigation and non-litigation work on behalf of individual immigrants and community-based organizations. In this clinic, students represent clients in immigration court and federal courts, while also engaging in community advocacy and legislative work at various governmental levels. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Morawetz is actively involved in scholarship that focuses on detention, deportation, and judicial review. Before joining the faculty, she clerked for Judge Patricia M. Wald of the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit and served as a staff attorney in the Civil Appeals Unit of the Legal Aid Society in New York for five years. Morawetz has received numerous accolades for her contributions to immigration law and education, including the 2007 Daniel Levy Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement in Immigration Law and the 2009 Albert Podell Distinguished Teaching Award.
