Tamer serves as Associate Professor and Director of Legal Writing at the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law, teaching Legal Writing I-III and Texas Civil Procedure since her 2015 appointment.

Professor Tamer's research integrates legal writing pedagogy with civil rights advocacy, examining constitutional tensions in affirmative action, LGBTQ student protections, and child pornography jurisprudence. Her scholarship consistently bridges doctrinal analysis with social justice imperatives, particularly regarding marginalized communities in educational settings.
Recent publications (2020) demonstrate dual focus: a textbook revolutionizing legal writing instruction and a groundbreaking article reframing Title IX failures through tort law. Earlier works (2010-2012) established her expertise in racial identity politics and First Amendment boundaries, revealing consistent thematic threads connecting civil procedure, constitutional interpretation, and vulnerable populations.
