Brandon L. Garrett joined the law faculty in 2005 as an associate professor of law. His research and teaching interests include criminal procedure, wrongful convictions, habeas corpus, corporate crime, civil rights, civil procedure and constitutional law.

Garrett’s recent research includes studies of DNA exonerations and organizational prosecutions. The research Web pages below provide data related to those studies. Garrett is currently working on a book, "Misjudging Innocence," about the criminal investigations, trials, appeals and post-conviction litigation of people exonerated by post-conviction DNA testing, which will be published by Harvard University Press.

While a law student, Garrett was an articles editor of the Columbia Law Review and a Kent Scholar. After graduating he clerked for the Hon. Pierre N. Leval of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He then worked as an associate in New York City at Cochran, Neufeld & Scheck LLP, litigating wrongful conviction, DNA exoneration and police brutality cases.
