Dr. Hull is an expert on the Fourteenth Amendment. Concern for the protection of the disadvantaged (women, racial minorities, aliens, and ex-felons) is the focus of her analysis of the equal protection and due process clauses.
Professor Hull has written numerous articles on the constitutional rights of women, minorities, and noncitizens, and three books: Without Justice for All: The Constitutional Rights of Aliens, Taking Liberties: National Barriers to the Free Flow of Ideas, and The Disenfranchisement of Ex-Felons.
In 1988 Prof. Hull received the Rutgers-Newark Charles Pine Alumni Award for Excellence in Teaching, and in 2002 she received the Henry Browne Award for Teaching Excellence from the University College Alumni Association.
