Most law firms avoid posting jobs on Indeed or LinkedIn due to high costs. Instead, they publish them on their own websites, bar association pages, and niche legal boards. LawCrossing finds these hidden jobs, giving you access to exclusive opportunities. Sign up now!

<<Rose Cuison Villazor graduated from University of Texas at Austin in 1996 with a degree in government. Passionate about immigration, she then was accepted at American University Washington College of Law where she graduated Cum Laude in 2000 with her JD. While there, she was the editor of American University Law Review and also served as a research assistant for Professor Leti Volpp. Following her time spent at WCL, she then applied to and was accepted at Columbia University Law School in New York City, where she completed her LL.M in 2006 under a Human Rights Fellowship. Between her time at American University and Columbia University, she clerked for the Honorable Stephen H. Glickman on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, where she then received an Equal Justice Works Fellowship to work for New York Lawyers for Public Interest from 2001 to 2004.

As many of us do, she returned home and served as the Assistant Professor of Law at Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas from 2006 until July, 2009. Before long, however, the faster pace found in New York beckoned her once again and she accepted the position with Hofstra University School of Law.

A published author, Villazor has published Blood Quantum Land Laws: The Race versus Political Identity Dilemma in the 2008 California Law Review; Rediscovering Oyama v. California: The Intersection of Property, Race and Citizenship in Washington University Law Review and Reading Between the (Blood) Lines: Political, Not Racial, Membership in Southern Methodist University Law Review. Currently, her writing passion has her busy with co-editing and contributing to a new book, Loving v. Virginia in a Post Radical World: Rethinking Race, Sex and Marriage. Publication by Cambridge University Press is due in early 2011 and it is a work she is extremely proud of.

Most recently, Professor Villazor received the 2011 Derrick A. Bell, Jr. Award at the American Association of Law Schools Annual Meeting. This award is given to a junior faculty member who pursues through a combination of activism, mentoring and teaching the contribution to a better and stronger legal education, legal system or social justice process. She will accept the award January 6, 2011 at the AALS Annual Meeting luncheon. The award is named after Professor Derrick A. Bell, who was the first tenured African American on the Harvard Law School faculty.

For now, Professor Villazor stays busy with her role at Hofstra Law School, her upcoming book and her dedication to immigration law and citizenship law. For more information on Rose Cuison Villazor, visit the Hofstra University School of Law website at Law.Hofstra.edu.
