Profile
Dr. Abigail Moncrieff's research draws on a wide range of disciplines to illuminate legal, political and social issues at the intersection of health law and constitutional law. She has published articles on health law and constitutional theory in Columbia Law Review, U. Penn Law Review and Boston University Law Review, among others, and is currently working on an ambitious reconceptualization of the American constitutional order in her book-in-progress, Constitutional Technocracy.
At CSU, Moncrieff teaches the introductory Constitutional Law course to upper-level students as well as first-year Contracts. Her seminars focus on the concept of freedom in American law and political theory and on constitutional issues in healthcare reform. Moncrieff is also the co-director of the Center for Health Law and Policy at CSU College of Law, where she develops programming on health care law and policy for the broader Cleveland community.
Prior to joining the CSU faculties, Moncrieff was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Texas Law School. She has previously taught at Harvard Law School, University of Pennsylvania Law School, N.Y.U. Law School, University of Texas Department of Government, Boston University Law School and St. John's University Law School. Moncrieff holds a Ph.D. in Government from the University of Texas at Austin, a J.D. from the University of Chicago and a B.A. from Wellesley College.
