Stuart M. Hurowitz has been teaching as an Adjunct at Boston College Law School since 2002. He currently teaches Professional Responsibility in the Fall and in the Spring co-teaches a 1L elective called Introduction to Criminal Practice. He has also taught Evidence and Criminal Procedure. His ‘day job’ is as a Supervising Attorney with the Committee for Public Counsel Service’s Office in Worcester (but has also been with CPCS in both Suffolk and Norfolk Counties), where he handles cases in both the District and Superior Courts. Part of his responsibilities also involve resolving potential conflicts of interest; consulting with staff attorneys about a variety of ethical issues; and training newer lawyers.
Hurowitz began his legal career in 1992 at the New Hampshire Public Defender’s Office, after having graduated from Boston University School of Law. He spent the next seven and one-half years as a New Hampshire public defender, the last three as the managing attorney of the Nashua branch office. Leaving NHPD in December 1999, Mr. Hurowitz went to Montenegro (then still a part of Yugoslavia) to work on a wide range of legal reform projects as an American Bar Association’s Central and East European Law Initiative’s (ABA-CEELI) criminal law liaison. Upon his repatriation, he spent a few years as a partner in his own small law firm before returning to the public defender fold in 2006.
