After graduation from law school, Professor Cammett was awarded a Skadden Fellowship at the Legal Aid Society of New York where she represented formerly incarcerated women facing civil consequences from criminal convictions. Before teaching in Georgetown’s clinical program, she served as a policy analyst for the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, providing technical assistance to government and community-based organizations, engaging in legislative activity, and assisting with the development of model programs to facilitate more positive prisoner reentry outcomes. Professor Cammett is admitted to the bars of New York; the District of Columbia; the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York; and the United States Supreme Court. Her scholarship explores legal and policy issues at the nexus of race, class, gender, the family, and criminal law. She is on the Board of Directors at the Center for Constitutional Rights.
