After graduating from Georgetown Law, Dean Hunter was a litigator and project director with the ACLU’s national legal staff for nine years. She began her teaching career at Brooklyn Law School in 1990, and has been a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and the University of Miami Law School. From 1993 to 1996, she was Deputy General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and later served as a member of the President's Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry. During the Fall 2009 semester, Dean Hunter was the Interim Faculty Director of Georgetown’s O’Neill Institute for Global and National Health Law. Dean Hunter is a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine. In January 2011, she became Associate Dean for Georgetown’s LL.M. and S.J.D. programs.
Dean Hunter teaches and writes primarly in two areas: health law and state regulation of sexuality and gender. Her work has been published in many law journals, including the Pennsylvania Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, the Virginia Law Review, and the Georgetown Law Journal; and several of her articles have been selected for reprinting in anthologies. With William Eskridge, she wrote first casebook to conceptualize sexuality and gender law as embodying a dynamic relationship between state regulation, sexual practices, and gender norms. Her most recent health law scholarship focuses on the intersection of health care systems with democratic theory.
