 
| Josh Bowers Associate Professor of Law J.D., New York University School of Law, 2001 B.A., University of Wisconsin, 1995 Josh Bowers joined the law faculty in 2008 as an associate professor of law after two years as a Bigelow Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School. Bowers graduated order of the coif from New York University School of Law, where he was a notes editor of the Law Review. After law school, he clerked for Judge Dennis Jacobs of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Next, he worked an associate at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason & Silberberg, P.C., a boutique white-collar criminal defense firm in New York City. After that, he spent three years as a criminal defense attorney for the Bronx Defenders, a community-based public defender organization. Bowers’ research and teaching interests include criminal law, criminal justice and criminal procedure. Specifically, he explores on-the-ground enforcement of criminal law, which is shaped not solely by what happens at trial and on appeal, but by the decisions made and the actions taken within communities, police precincts and courthouses. He focuses on the often competing (but sometimes harmonious) incentives of various institutional actors in the criminal justice system, concentrating particularly on underappreciated differences in the way these actors approach low-stakes and high-stakes cases. | |
