Professor Bridget J. Crawford teaches Federal Income Taxation; Estate and Gift Taxation; and Wills, Trusts and Estates. She joined the Pace faculty in 2003, after more than six years of law practice at Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy LLP in New York. Her practice was concerned with income, estate and gift tax planning for individuals, as well as tax and other advice to closely-held corporations and exempt organizations.
Professor Crawford is a former Lecturer in Law and Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She is the co-author of the casebook Federal Taxes on Gratuitous Transfers (Aspen) and the author of several articles on the tax treatment of wealth, marriage and the family. Her present scholarship focuses on issues of gender and tax policy.
Professor Crawford is a member of the American Law Institute and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. She is the current chair of the AALS Section on Women in Legal Education and a former chair of the AALS Section on Trusts & Estates. From 2008 through 2012, Professor Crawford served as Pace Law School's inaugural Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development.
