Justine Sheehan
Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law
2024-2025
Justine Sheehan is a Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School. Her scholarship focuses on studying the legal decisions that compromise vulnerable populations’ ability to access fundamental rights. She is currently working on a project that addresses an unsettled issue in state constitutional law, namely, whether the right against unreasonable searches and seizures protects arrested people from suspicionless inventory searches of their vehicles unless they had a reasonable opportunity to dispose of their vehicles in another manner.
Her teaching interests include Civil Procedure, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, Constitutional Law, Child Law, Family Law, and Federal Courts.
