Assistant Professor
Dr. Webster joined the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Loyola University Chicago in Fall 2018. She studies court operations and courtroom workgroup decision making at every stage of processing, but particularly postconviction. Her research, “A Postconviction Mentality: Prosecutorial Assistance as a Pathway to Exoneration,” which explores prosecutors’ decision making in wrongful conviction cases, was funded by the National Institute of Justice. Her current research projects include defendants’ experiences of bond court, and exonerees’ perceptions of their postconviction legal process. She is a former communications professional at the Innocence Project, and an alum of the Rutgers School of Criminal Justice.
