Ruth Anne Robbins


Clinical Professor of Law and Director of Lawyering Programs. Professor Robbins earned her undergraduate degree in biology at the University of Pennsylvania. She earned her law degree magna cum laude at Rutgers School of Law–Camden, where she was a member of the Rutgers Law Journal, the first recipient of the Deborah Michael Richards Graduation Award for Family Law, a recipient of the American Jurisprudence Award in Criminal Procedure, and a Dean's Scholar. After law school, she clerked for the Honorable Michael Patrick King, a presiding judge of the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division. She later practiced family law in Pennsylvania and general practice in New Jersey until she joined the faculty. She is the founder of our Domestic Violence Clinic. Nationally, she is a leader in legal writing, serving as a board member and former president of the Legal Writing Institute, an organization of 2,800 individuals. She is also the co-editor-in-chief and a member of the peer-reviewed journal, Legal Communication & Rhetoric: JALWD. Professor Robbins is also one of the coorganizers of international conferences about legal storytelling. She publishes in the areas of persuasive theory and in domestic violence law. One of her articles, about document design, appears on the website of the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She also authors a practice treatise, New Jersey Domestic Violence Practice and Procedure. Professor Robbins teaches across the lawyering curriculum: first-year legal writing, upper-level writing, and clinical courses. She also directs our internal Hunter Moot Court program.
