Prior to joining the law school's faculty in 2012, Professor Haugh spent a year
as a Supreme Court Fellow at the Supreme Court of the United States. Professor Haugh was
one of only four fellows chosen from national and international applicants to study the
administrative machinery of the federal judiciary. During his fellowship year, he worked
in the General Counsel's Office of the U.S. Sentencing Commission as part of a
professional team conducting policy, legal and social science research that resulted in
amendments to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. In addition, the fellowship allowed him
access to the inner workings of the Supreme Court, where he participated in meetings of
the Judicial Conference, was briefed at the United Nations as a guest of the
International Judicial Relations Committee, and attended dozens of Supreme Court
arguments.
Professor Haugh previously spent two years teaching at DePaul University College of Law.
At DePaul, Professor Haugh taught beginning and upper-level legal writing courses and
developed a course on federal criminal law drafting techniques. Before that, he was an
associate at Winston & Strawn LLP, where he practiced white collar criminal defense
and completed more than 600 hours of bro bono service, working on behalf of Illinois
C-Class inmates and nonprofit organizations. During 2006-07, he clerked for the Honorable
Suzanne B. Conlon, senior judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Illinois. Following law school, Professor Haugh spent four years as an associate at the
law firm of Stetler, Duffy & Rotert Ltd., where he practiced white collar criminal
defense. During his years in practice, Professor Haugh has represented all levels of
individuals accused of committing white collar crime, from politicians to CEOs to
secretaries.
Professor Haugh graduated with honors from Brown University in 1999 with a B.A. in
political science. In 2002, he earned a J.D. degree cum laude from the University of
Illinois College of Law.
Professor Haugh's research interests include white collar crime, sentencing and
international criminal law. He has authored or co-authored articles and book chapters on
the sentencing of white collar defendants, money laundering, and the crime of genocide.
His latest article, Can the CEO Learn from the Condemned? The Application of Capital
Mitigation Strategies to White Collar Cases, will appear in American University Law
Review in 2012.
