Biography
Professor Hillman's fields of interest include military justice, American legal history, and gender and sexuality in the law. A veteran of the United States Air Force who earned a Ph.D. and J.D. at Yale, she previously taught history at the Air Force Academy and at Yale University. She teaches constitutional law, military law, legal history, and trusts and estates, and co-directs the Marshall-Brennan Fellowship Program. Her scholarship examines crime and discipline within the U.S. armed forces, the impact of sexual orientation discrimination on legal outcomes, and the status and treatment of women in the American military.
For the 2007-08 academic year, she will be a visiting professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law.
