Marion Bachrach serves as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, teaching ethical issues in criminal investigation, prosecution, and policy since 2008. She is a founding partner at DePetris & Bachrach, specializing in white-collar criminal defense, complex civil litigation, and professional counseling for lawyers.
Her academic credentials include:
- J.D. from Cornell Law School (1977)
- B.A. from Syracuse University (1972)
Bachrach's expertise centers on criminal justice integrity, with research emphasizing ethical dilemmas in prosecution and investigation. Her practical experience in high-stakes white-collar litigation informs her scholarly focus on procedural fairness and professional conduct standards within adversarial legal systems.
Her publication record features the 2006 book chapter "False Testimony by Government Witnesses" and multiple New York Law Journal articles, collectively advancing discourse on witness credibility, evidence ethics, and prosecutorial accountability in federal criminal cases.
Professional leadership includes founding the New York Council of Defense Lawyers, where she currently serves on the board and previously co-chaired the sentencing guidelines committee. Her judicial clerkship for Judge Joseph L. Tauro and six-year tenure as Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York—during which she led the general crimes unit and served as deputy criminal chief—underpin her authoritative perspective on criminal justice practice.
