Biography
Marny Requa joined the School of Law at Queen’s University Belfast in October 2005 as a Lecturer and is currently the Assistant Director of the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice. She researches in the areas of criminal justice, human rights, and transitional justice and has published on jurisprudential change and statutory reform related to the Northern Ireland and Chilean transitions, in addition to the approach of U.K. courts to international human rights on criminal justice issues. Requa was a Mulderig Scholar at Fordham University School of Law in New York and completed a Juris Doctorate degree in 2004, graduating magna cum laude. She is a member of the New York Bar (from 2005) and was a law clerk to the Honorable Denny Chin of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. She has been an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School (spring 2005 and summer 2006) and has extensive human rights experience, having been a consultant for Human Rights First and a member of the New York City Bar Association’s International Human Rights Committee, in addition to having conducting research for organisations such as the Committee on the Administration of Justice (Belfast), CODEPU (Santiago, Chile), the American Civil Liberties Union (New York), the Ford Foundation, and the Center for Latin American Studies (UC Berkeley).
Requa is on the Advisory Board of Fordham Law School’s Crowley Program in International Human Rights and is a member of the Latin American Studies Forum at QUB. She was recently awarded a British Academy research grant to fund a comparative project on judicial decision-making in societies undergoing transition.
