Profile
Professor Clatch teaches and researches in the areas of criminal law and procedure. Prior to joining Richmond Law, she was a post-doctoral fellow in the Wilson Center for Science and Justice at the Duke University School of Law. There, her work focused on assessing Miranda’s custody requirement by comparing judicial and lay perceptions of police coercion. Before joining the Wilson Center, Professor Clatch clerked for the Hon. Carolyn King on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Broadly, her scholarship relies on psychological theory and quantitative methods with the aim of developing richer and more realistic accounts of human behavior in legal contexts. Her current research projects include the study of police interrogations and plea bargaining.
