Along with securing field placements and working with faculty to prepare field placement classes for more than  50 law student interns for the upcoming semester, Professor Nancy Maurer has been preparing two books for publication as co-author and editor.

Scheduled for early next year, she is co-editor and an author of an expanded and updated 3rd edition of “Learning From Practice: A Professional Development Text for Legal Externs,” to be published by West Academic Publishing.

She is co-editor of “Disability Law and Practice,” Books One and Two of a three-book series from the New York State Bar Association. The books provide a broad education in many aspects of disability law and practice, including chapters on ethics and resources for the practitioner, special education, assistive technology, vocational rehabilitation, financial and health care benefits and future planning. The third will discuss civil rights of people with disabilities.

Last month she presented in Turkey on two panels for the Global Alliance for Justice Education and International Journal of Clinical Legal Education as one of 350 representatives from 50 countries.

Professor Maurer has taught courses that include Fact Investigation, Legal Issues in Medicine, Negotiating for Lawyers, Trial Practice I: Civil Pretrial Skills, and Disability Law.

After earning a B.A. from Middlebury College and her J.D. from George Washington University National Law Center, she practiced law with a legal services program in Charleston, S.C., and served as staff attorney for New York State Commission on Quality of Care & Advocacy for People with Disabilities.
