Before joining Cardozo, Professor Roth served as assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York from 2002 to 2009, prosecuting securities fraud and serving in the violent crimes unit, the narcotics unit and the general crimes unit. She received her J.D. cum laude from Harvard. Professor Roth loves teaching criminal law and evidence. Maybe it’s not surprising that one of her hobbies is reading mystery novels. However, law wasn’t the first thing that came to her mind when she was choosing a career. “I wanted to be an archeologist and worked on a dig in Israel for a summer when I was in college.”
