Professor Michelle S. Jacobs is interested in all aspects of the criminal justice system, but especially on the State’s use of violence to deny full access to justice for poor people, women, and all people of color. She teaches Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, International Criminal Law, Critical Race Theory and has recently been exploring the intersection of developing technology and criminal law. Professor Jacobs received her undergraduate degree, cum laude, from Princeton University and her law degree from Rutgers University Law School – Newark, where she was a member of the Women’s Rights Law Reporter. She is an internationally known scholar and was recently featured on multiple media sites discussing the murder of Breonna Taylor at the hands of the Louisville, Kentucky police. Professor Jacobs states her greatest achievement in life is that she helped her two Black children survive to healthy adulthood in a virulently racist and violent American culture.
