 Doriane Lanbelet Coleman, JD Professor of Law Doriane Lambelet Coleman is a Professor of Law at Duke Law School, where she teaches courses in Torts, Children and the Law, and a seminar in Advanced Issues in Children's and Family Law. Her scholarship focuses on the ways in which culture - both domestic and foreign - impacts women and children as these are treated in the law. In this context, she has worked on issues ranging from child maltreatment in immigrant families to the legal issues arising out of ongoing genetics research for children and families. She is currently engaged in projects relating to the legal ethics of pediatric research, innovative approaches to addressing child maltreatment, and the off-label use by physicians of pharmaceutical products. Professor Coleman is a graduate of Cornell University (BA 1982) and of the Georgetown University Law Center (JD 1988), and an alumnae of the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, where she was a general litigator with some focus on toxic torts.
