About me
Joy Radice is an Associate Professor and the Director of Clinical Programs at the University of Tennessee College of Law. She teaches in the Advocacy Clinic and launched the Expungement Mini-Clinic to train students to use a range of statutory tools to help their clients reintegrate after a criminal conviction. Professor Radice’s scholarship focuses on the intersection of criminal law and the administrative state, post-adjudication consequences for youth with delinquency records, and the gap in access to civil counsel.
Prior to joining UT, Professor Radice was the 2008-09 NYU Derrick Bell Fellow and an Acting Assistant Professor at NYU School of Law. She has dedicated her legal career to serving those who cannot afford legal representation. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2003, she received a Skadden Public Interest Fellowship to launch the Harlem Reentry Advocacy Project to represent people facing collateral consequences of criminal convictions at the Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem. This work inspired her research on expungement laws and the enduring impact that criminal convictions have on people’s lives. It also led to her community work in Tennessee to help people remove obstacles created by criminal convictions and to offer them a second chance to rebuild their lives.
