Kimberly Alderman is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Frank J. Remington Center, supervising students in the Criminal Appeals Project (CAP) and the Legal Assistance to Institutionalized Persons Project (LAIP). She also teaches a Cultural Property Law seminar course.
Prior to joining the clinical faculty at UW Law School, Alderman engaged in private practice in a litigation firm in New Mexico. She handled a wide range of cases, focusing on criminal defense and civil rights matters. Before entering private practice, she completed a judicial clerkship at the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands on the island of St. Croix. During this clerkship, she focused on addressing a backlog of pro se prisoner petitions.
Alderman earned her Juris Doctor from Howard University School of Law in Washington, DC. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Art History & Archaeology from the University of Maryland at College Park. She also completed a Masters in International Art Crime Studies in Italy through the Association of Research into Crimes against Art.
Alderman has a scholarly interest in cultural property law, in particular how the illicit antiquities trade affects marginalized creator cultures in source nations. She serves as Chair of the Executive Committee for ASIL's Cultural Heritage and the Arts Group, Chair of the Board of Editors for the State Bar of New Mexico, and Vice-Chair of the Steering Committee for the ABA's Art and Cultural Heritage Law Committee. She also maintains Cultural Property & Archaeology Law, an online legal resource about current issues in cultural property law.
