| Biography |
|
Professor McCauliff is a legal historian
and a renowned scholar. She teaches
Comparative Constitutional Law;
Jurisprudence; European Legal History;
English Legal History; First Amendment;
Religion and the First Amendment; Theory
of Contracts; Agency, Partnerships and
LLCs; and Shakespeare and the Law. The
theme of justice as fairness runs
through all of her courses as well as
her life in the law.
She is Co-Chair of Columbia University's
Seminar on the History of Law and
Politics and an elected member of the
American Law Institute. She has been
honored as a revision author of CORBIN
ON CONTRACTS VOLUME 3A (now vol. 8); a
Reporter to the ABA Committee on Federal
Regulation of Securities; a James
Madison Visiting Fellow to the
Department of Politics, Princeton
University; a Samuel L. Golieb Fellow in
Legal History at New York University
School of Law; and a recipient of the
National Endowment for the Humanities
Grant, Folger Shakespeare Library,
Washington, D.C.
In recent years, Professor McCauliff has
focused her prolific scholarship upon
the confluence of contract theory,
religion, literature, and American,
English and European legal history as
they relate to the evolution of a
jurisprudence of natural rights. Primary
to that inquiry has been the work of
both Shakespeare and Jacques Maritain,
who played a key role in publicizing the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Professor McCauliff received her A.B.
from Bryn Mawr College, her M.A. and
Ph.D. from the University of Toronto,
and her J.D. from the University of
Chicago. Prior to joining the faculty in
1984, she taught at Washington and Lee
University School of Law, and practiced
law as an attorney for the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. She also
practiced as an associate with Ullman,
Van Ginkel, Miller & Wrubel, and as a
securities litigation associate with
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, & Flom. |
