Distinguished Professor of Law
Emeritus. Professor Singer earned his B.A.
degree in 1963 at Amherst College, his J.D. in 1966 from the University
of Chicago Law School, and two graduate law degrees at Columbia
University--the LL.M. in 1971 and the J.S.D. in 1977. He clerked
for Judge Harrison Winter of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit and began teaching immediately thereafter. He has been
extremely active in writing about criminal law and criminology. He has
authored five books, one of which deals with prisoners' rights and
another with sentencing reform, as well as nearly three dozen articles
in scholarly journals. He was the reporter on two national
projects dealing with prisoners' rights that developed model codes of
standards in that field. His most recent publications are a casebook on
substantive criminal law and two volumes in the Examples and
Explanations Series: Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure: From
Bail to Jail. He was counsel in the U.S. Supreme Court case
of Apprendi v. New Jersey (2000). Professor Singer served as dean of the law school from 1986 to 1989.
