Lynne Beccaro

Lynne Beccaro serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Criminal Justice within Mercy College's School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. She has maintained an academic affiliation with the institution since 1991, operating in a part-time capacity that complements her primary legal career.

Her professional focus bridges Criminal Justice theory and practice, with specialized expertise in Legal Studies, Litigation procedures, Workers' Compensation Law frameworks, and Trial Advocacy techniques. This applied knowledge stems directly from her active role in worker's compensation defense litigation, trials, and appeals outside academia.

As a long-tenured educator, Beccaro integrates real-world courtroom experience into criminal justice curriculum development, emphasizing practical application over theoretical isolation. Her teaching methodology reflects the operational realities of the justice system through current case exposure.
