Penny Venetis


Clinical professor of law, codirector, Constitutional Litigation Clinic, and Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise Scholar

Prior to joining Rutgers-Newark in 1994, Professor Venetis clerked for Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. She also practiced law with the firm O'Melveny & Myers for four years. While there, she worked on complex commercial litigation as well as human rights projects. Among those projects was working with the UN Special Rapporteur investigating war crimes in the former Yugoslavia. She also investigated human rights abuses in the implementation of Peru's antiterrorism laws. At Rutgers-Newark, Professor Venetis specializes in civil rights and international human rights impact litigation.

Among other things, Venetis has worked on cutting-edge issues concerning the human rights of political asylum seekers and immigrants detained in the aftermath of 9/11. Her work focuses on the interplay between international human rights law and U.S. constitutional law. Professor Venetis earned a B.A. and M.A. from Columbia University and a J.D. cum laude from Boston College Law School.
