Anne Coughlin is co-director of UVA’s Sound Justice Lab and Lewis F. Powell, Jr., Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. Her research and teaching interests are in the areas of criminal law, criminal procedure, feminist jurisprudence, law and the humanities, and law and public service. She is co-author of a casebook on substantive criminal law, and many of her scholarly papers evaluate criminal law doctrines and procedural rules from a feminist perspective. In her current work, she is exploring the long movement for gender equality in law schools, with a special focus on how the coming of women helped to reshape—or not—pedagogical practices, curricular content, and other institutional arrangements.
