Mary A. Crossley

Mary Crossley's scholarship has focused on issues of inequality in the financing and delivery of health care, encompassing topics ranging from an exploration of potential legal remedies for physician bias in medical treatment, to an examination of how recent trends in health insurance coverage function to discriminate against unhealthy people, to a consideration of how assisted reproductive technologies implicate equality concerns. She has published broadly, in journals including Columbia Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, and Rutgers Law Journal. Dean Crossley's scholarly interests are reflected in a seminar that she has developed on Health Care & Civil Rights, and she has also taught courses in Health Law, Bioethics & Law, Family Law, Torts, and Contracts.

Immediately prior to coming to Pitt Law in 2005, Dean Crossley was the Florida Bar Health Law Section Professor of Law at Florida State University and before that she was on the faculty at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, including two years of service as Associate Academic Dean. Before beginning to teach, she practiced corporate and health care law in San Francisco and New Haven, and clerked for Judge Harry Wellford on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
