Cardali Distinguished Professor in Trial Advocacy and Professor of Law at Hofstra University, where he has taught since 1992 after 13 years of clinical teaching at the University of Chicago Law School and Southern Methodist University School of Law. As Director Emeritus of Clinical Programs, he specializes in clinical legal education and Evidence, directing the Law Reform Advocacy Clinics that serve Nassau County communities.
His educational background includes a JD from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a BA from the University of Chicago. Following law school, he clerked for Judge Hubert L. Will of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and worked as a staff attorney at Chicago's West Side Office of Legal Assistance Foundation from 1977-1979.
Professor Krieger's research centers on housing and community development law, where his clinic has secured landmark victories including a 2004 New York Court of Appeals decision protecting eviction notice rights and a 2008 Supreme Court victory invalidating rent guidelines for 12,000 tenants. His scholarly work explores litigation strategy, legal reasoning development, and innovative pedagogical methods like film storyboarding for trial preparation, with significant publications on experiential education assessment and conceptual competence.
His publication trends reveal deep integration of clinical practice with legal education theory, consistently examining how experiential learning shapes reasoning skills while maintaining active engagement in housing justice advocacy. Earlier work focused on public utility regulation, demonstrating scholarly range across legal domains.
