Alvin Bragg, a chief deputy attorney general under New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, is set to take the next step in his career come January when he transitions from more than a decade in government service to join the faculty at New York Law School.

Aside from his new role as professor, Bragg also will serve as co-director of New York Law School’s Racial Justice Project, a legal advocacy organization that examines issues of racial inequity and works to address them through litigation and policy recommendations.
