Professor Givelber served as dean of the law school from 1984 until 1993, and was interim dean during the 1998-1999 academic year. He is an expert in the areas of criminal law, criminal procedure and torts, and has been engaged in pro bono death penalty litigation for many years.

Professor Givelber has taught and published primarily in the areas of criminal law, criminal procedure, practical skills and torts. In recent years, his research has focused on the accuracy of the procedures we employ to determine guilt. Prior to joining the law school faculty, he served as an assistant US attorney for the District of Columbia and as a civil litigator with a large New York law firm.
