Before joining the college Fall Semester 2003, Professor George was a litigation associate in the New York City firm of Coudert Brothers, where she focused on international litigation and arbitration with an emphasis on representation of foreign corporations, antitrust, and employment discrimination. Previously, she was a fellow with Human Rights Watch, where she conducted on-site investigations of developments in women's rights, children's rights, and the right to education. Professor George also wrote a book-length report examining how gender discrimination and violence in South African schools impedes realization of the right to education and presented her findings to the South African government. She has monitored human rights abuses against academics in various countries and addressed the World Education for All Forum convened by the United Nations in Dakar, Senegal, on human rights abuses against children.
