Charlie Martel, J.D., LLM

(Visiting Professor)

I am Visiting Assistant Professor of Lawyering Skills at University of California, Irvine School of Law. I have written on constitutional law, impeachment and racism, the intersection of human rights and civil rights, the law of armed conflict, and humanitarian law and policy. My previous faculty positions were at the Lewis and Clark Law School, the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, Washington and Lee University School of Law, and American University Washington College of Law. I have taught a course on national security legislation and upper level writing courses centered on refugee and asylum law. Prior to teaching, I served as investigative counsel with the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. I worked with Human Rights Watch and other humanitarian and civil rights non-profits. I began my career in private practice with large law firms.
