Biography

[edit]

Bandes graduated the University of Michigan Law School in 1976, worked at the Illinois Office of the State Appellate Defender, and then served as staff counsel at the Illinois ACLU, where she litigated a broad range of civil liberties issues and also (with Erwin Chemerinsky and Jeffrey Shaman) drafted and lobbied for passage of the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. She joined the DePaul faculty in 1984, and was named Distinguished Research Professor in 2003 and Centennial Distinguished Professor in 2012. She took emeritus status in 2017. She has written more than 70 articles, and is among the most widely cited law professors in the field of criminal law and procedure. Her work appears in, among others, the Yale, Stanford, University of Chicago, Michigan and Southern California law reviews, as well as interdisciplinary journals like Law and Social Inquiry and the Law and Society Review. Her book The Passions of Law[4] published by NYU Press in 2000, is referred to as a "groundbreaking anthology" and a "high water mark" of the emerging discipline of the study of law and emotion.

Bandes has been a visiting professor at the University of Chicago Law School and Northwestern Law School, a visiting scholar at NYU Law School and the Berkeley Center for the Study of Law and Society, a Fulbright Scholar at Uppsala University in Sweden, and Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the University of New South Wales.

Bandes is a member of the American Law Institute and a fellow of the American Bar Foundation. She has long been active in the Law and Society Association, where she is the founder, with Jill Hunter (University of New South Wales) and Jody Madeira (University of Indiana/Bloomington), of the Collaborative Research Network on Law and Emotion.[5]
