Judith G. Greenberg

Judith G. Greenberg is a Professor at New England Law | Boston, specializing in constitutional law, civil rights, and administrative law. Her work critically examines judicial interpretations of constitutional principles, particularly in cases involving equality, due process, and federal authority. She has published analyses of landmark Supreme Court decisions such as Obergefell v. Hodges and Texas v. United States, focusing on the interplay between legal text, societal values, and judicial legitimacy.

Her research emphasizes how courts balance statutory interpretation with real-world impacts, such as the effects of immigration policies on families or the evolution of marriage rights. Greenberg critiques judicial approaches that neglect marginalized groups' lived experiences, advocating for interpretations that uphold constitutional protections for minorities.

Notably, she has written on the role of empathy in judicial decision-making and the dangers of one-sided legal reasoning that ignores systemic harm. Her scholarship bridges legal theory and practice, contributing to debates on constitutional law, civil liberties, and administrative governance.
