Marsha Cohen, Professor of Law

Professor Cohen came to California to clerk for the late Associate Justice Raymond L. Sullivan, then of the California Supreme Court, later a Hastings 65 club member.  Thereafter she joined Consumers Union's public interest law office in Washington, D.C., practicing primarily in the areas of federal food and drug and product safety law.  She came to Hastings after a short stint at UC Davis.  Professor Cohen has served on various government and National Academy of Sciences panels and for almost eight years was a member of the California State Board of Pharmacy (and its first non-pharmacist president). 

In her spare time, Professor Cohen raises money for good causes; at boring meetings she does needlepoint.  Professor Cohen married Robert Feyer, a classmate in her first year law school section. They have three adult sons, scattered around the country and the world. 

Courses Taught:  Food and Drug Law and Judicial Externship Program

What I hope you get from a legal education at Hastings is... the inspiration to use your talents not only to do well, but also to do good.
