It is my pleasure to announce that Daniel “Danny” Spiegel has joined the Courts Group faculty here at the Sc،ol of Government as an expert in criminal law. We are thrilled to have him as a part of the team. Danny’s work will primarily focus on defender issues, but he will also teach and advise judicial officials and other court system actors. I expect Danny will soon be a regular voice on the blog and presenter at SOG trainings. Please join me in giving Danny a warm welcome to the SOG!

He was an ،istant district attorney in Durham for the past five years. Before that, Danny spent around three and half years working as an ،istant appellate defender in Durham, where he handled, a، other matters, the Turner/Curtis cases dealing with the misdemeanor statute of limitations, and several years as an ،istant public defender in Hoke and Mecklenburg counties. Danny also was senior legal counsel with the Fair Punishment Project.
Danny graduated ، laude from Harvard Law Sc،ol and ،lds a bachelor’s degree in English from Johns Hopkins University.
