Flannery Gallagher
Legal Fellow
Gallagher joined the Center for Criminal Justice Reform as a legal fellow in October
2023. Prior to coming to the University of Baltimore, she practiced law at Covington
& Burling in Washington, D.C., where she represented clients in complex litigation
matters and in internal and government investigations.
At Covington, Gallagher’s pro bono practice focused on individuals and communities
affected by gun violence, extreme sentencing, and police violence. She served as a
full-time loaned associate at Children’s Law Center, where she represented low-income
clients in contested custody matters in D.C. Superior Court.
Prior to law school, Gallagher served as a Princeton in Africa Fellow in a post-conflict
community in Northern Uganda. She also worked as a civilian investigator of police
misconduct in New York City. Gallagher is interested in combining the disciplines
of public health and law to address the brutality and many failures of our criminal
legal systems, and to improve the safety and well-being of our communities.
Gallagher holds a J.D. from Vanderbilt University Law School, an M.P.H. from Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a B.A., cum laude, from Columbia University.
