 Deborah N. Archer
Professor of Law
Deborah N. Archer joined the New York Law School faculty as associate professor of law in clinical teaching in the 2003–04 academic year.
Professor Archer comes to the Law School from Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett, where she has worked as a litigation associate since September 2000. A member of the Civil Rights Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and the Committee on Civil Rights of the New York State Bar Association, Professor Archer also performed pro bono work on behalf of political asylum seekers and battered women while at Simpson Thatcher.
After graduating from Yale in 1996, Professor Archer clerked for a year with Judge Alvin W. Thompson, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut, and then spent a year at the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation as a Marvin M. Karpatkin Fellow, involved in federal and state litigation on issues of race and poverty. From there, she became assistant counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc., where she was involved in a number of important cases, including Maxwell v. Foster, which defended a challenge to majority-minority voting districts; Lewis v. Chicago, which challenged the Chicago Fire Department’s hiring practices; Simms v. Oklahoma, which dealt with employment discrimination litigation; and Sheff v. O’Neill, which challenged inadequate and unequal education resources in Connecticut.
Professor Archer graduated cum laude from Smith College in 1993 and was awarded her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1996.
