Taurus Myhand is an Associate Professor of Law at Touro Law Center, where he teaches Evidence, Business Organizations, Expert Witnesses, and Forensic Criminology.

 

Professor Myhand’s scholarship examines how the law of evidence absorbs new forms of proof. His work on the Federal Rules of Evidence addresses the novel challenges the rules create, including their intersection with juror conduct, jury deliberations, and jury selection. That inquiry extends to his doctoral research at Troy University, where he is a Ph.D. candidate in Criminology. His dissertation focuses on geofence warrants and reverse-search technologies, examining how techniques that begin with the location data of everyone in a given area, rather than with an identified suspect, strain a Fourth Amendment framework built around particularized suspicion. Together, the two lines of research follow digitally generated evidence from the investigative stage through the courtroom: how it is gathered, whether existing doctrine constrains its collection, and how judges and jurors evaluate it once admitted. His articles have appeared in the Fordham Urban Law Journal, Widener Law Review, University of Detroit Mercy Law Review, Texas Journal on Civil Rights & Civil Liberties, Rutgers Race & the Law Review, and the Journal of the Legal Profession.

 

Before joining Touro Law Center, Professor Myhand taught at a law school in Alabama and served as a coach for the school’s nationally recognized trial advocacy team.

 

Professor Myhand began his career as a corporate litigation associate at Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., Delaware’s largest law firm, where he represented leading publicly traded companies in high-stakes corporate and commercial litigation, including matters before the Delaware Court of Chancery.

 

Professor Myhand earned his J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Legal Profession and as National Vice-Chairman of the American Bar Association Law Student Division.
