Before joining the Lewis & Clark Law School faculty in 2005, Juliet Stumpf was on the Lawyering Program faculty at the New York University School of Law. Prior to her position at NYU, she clerked for the Honorable Richard A. Paez on the Ninth Circuit.  In practice, she served as a Senior Trial Attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department where she litigated employment discrimination claims and advocated for civil rights protections on behalf of immigrants and U.S. citizens of color.  She also practiced with the law firm of Morrison and Foerster in Palo Alto, California and Washington, D.C., where she served as the firm's representative to the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs and the Washington Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (now Human Rights First). Juliet Stumpf graduated from Oberlin College in 1989 and the Georgetown University Law Center in 1995. While in law school, she was a Notes and Comments editor for the Georgetown Law Journal.  She currently serves on the Advisory Board of I*CON, the International Journal of Constitutional Law.

Professor Stumpf’s research focuses on the intersection between immigration law and other substantive areas of law including constitutional law, criminal law, national security law, civil rights, and employment law. Her current research is interdisciplinary, examining the convergence of criminal and immigration law, the insights that psychological research brings to the centrality of procedure in immigration law, the role of punishment in immigration law, and the impact of immigration law on employment discrimination law.  Recent articles include Fitting Punishment (forthcoming in the Washington & Lee Law Review), States of Confusion: the Rise of State and Local Power over Immigration, 86 N.C. L. Rev. 1557 (2008), The Crimmigration Crisis: Immigrants, Crime, and Sovereign Power, 56 Am. U. L. Rev. 367 (2006), Penalizing Immigrants, 18 Fed. Sentencing Rptr. 264 (Apr. 2006), and Citizens of an Enemy Land: Enemy Combatants, Aliens, and the Constitutional Rights of the Pseudo-Citizen, 38 U.C. Davis L. Rev. 79 (2004).
