    Professor Jacobs has been a member of the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law since 1992.

Professor Jacobs’ articles have appeared in law journals at Yale, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State, UC Davis, Rutgers, Tulane, Florida and Indiana and the new Journal of National Security Law & Policy initiated by Pacific McGeorge. In addition to constitutional law, Professor Jacobs’ areas of expertise include bioterrorism and public health law, legal theory, remedies, government process and gender law issues. Professor Jacobs served as a law clerk to the late Associate Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. (U.S. Supreme Court) and to Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer (U.S. District Court, District of Columbia). She also practiced with two San Francisco law firms and taught at the University of California, Davis Law School before joining the faculty at Pacific McGeorge.
