Biography
Andrew Moore began teaching at Detroit Mercy Law in 1998. He is an expert in immigration law and international human rights law. In 2000, he founded the immigration law clinic at Detroit Mercy Law. Professor Moore served as the law school's Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from 2011-2013.
His scholarship focuses on the needs of immigrants, including articles on the intersection of criminal law and immigration law, refugee issues between the U.S. and Canada, widespread fraud in the provision of legal services and the need for improved mental health care for immigrants in the United States.
In addition to being a faculty member, Professor Moore organizes the two main liturgical events for the law school (Baccalaureate Liturgy and the Red Mass) and serves as moderator for the St. Thomas More Society.
Professor Moore is married and the father of 2 young daughters, which accounts for most of his time outside of the law school.
