Miriam Cherry Associate Professor of Law University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law Sacramento, California

Education:

• B.A., Dartmouth College, Summa Cum Laude
• J.D., Harvard Law School, Cum Laude

Bio:

Professor Cherry’s scholarship favors an interdisciplinary approach, with a concentration on business and employment law topics. Her articles have been or will be published in Northwestern Law Review, Illinios Law Review, Washington Law Review and U.C. Davis Law Review, among others. She began teaching at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law before joining the faculty at Pacific McGeorge. She recently completed a book, "Global Issues in Employment Law," co-authored with NYU Law Professor Samuel Estreicher.

After graduation from law school, Professor Cherry clerked for Justice Roderick Ireland of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and then for Judge Gerald Heaney of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In 2001, a transition to the private sector took Professor Cherry to the Boston firm of Foley Hoag LLP where she practiced corporate law with an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and private debt financing. She then moved to Berman, DeValerio & Pease where she was involved in litigating several accounting fraud cases including those against former telecom giant WorldCom and Symbol Technologies, which resulted in a $139 million settlement.
