Before joining Pace Law School in 1995, Prof. Dorfman taught Lawyering skills and techniques at NYU Law School. From 1987-1993, he was a criminal defense trial attorney at the Legal Aid Society Criminal Defense Division in Brooklyn, NY. Prof. Dorfman brought many cases to jury and bench verdict, while defending many other criminal clients through pre-trial hearings and final dispositions. He wrote numerous motions, briefs and memoranda of law.
Prior to law school, he received an Art Critics Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. As a freelance writer, he wrote both for publication and for grants, specifically on art criticism and aesthetic theory topics.
Professor Dorfman teaches and supervises the Barbara Salken Criminal Justice Clinic, which represents indigent defendants charged with misdemeanor crimes in the County of the Bronx. He also teaches doctrinal courses, specializing in Criminal Law and Procedure.
