Deller Ross is a Professor of Law Emerita at Georgetown University Law Center, where she was the Founder and Director of the International Women's Human Rights Clinic. She also taught a course on International and Comparative Law on Women’s Human Rights. In the Clinic, faculty and students worked with women's rights advocates at NGOs in the Global South to develop proposed litigation and legislative projects that the Clinic partners could use to win equal rights for women. These projects relied on the legal promises each country had made to give women equal rights in human rights treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). The Clinic and partners won equal rights for women in areas such as inheritance, employment discrimination, female genital mutilation, and domestic violence. Previously, she was Special Council for Sex Discrimination Litigation at the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and before that the Clinical Director of the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project. She has published groundbreaking books including Women’s Human Rights: The International and Comparative Law Casebook (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008).
