Professor Delfino teaches civil procedure, appellate law, professional responsibility, civil procedure, and judicial process. In addition, she teaches on generative AI and the future of legal practice, exploring how emerging technologies are reshaping the legal profession, legal reasoning, and access to justice. Her research lies at the intersection of law, current events, and systemic disruptions—examining how the legal system responds to emergent threats such as synthetic media and deepfake technologies. Her scholarship draws from multiple disciplines to address institutional design, risk allocation, and access to justice, with an emphasis on how law can offer redress, deterrence, and resilience in the face of unfolding societal challenges. She advocates for scholarship that engages across disciplines—connecting legal inquiry with fields such as business, humanities, public health, engineering, and the social sciences.
Earlier in her legal career, Professor Delfino practiced complex business litigation at Kirkland & Ellis and later at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, where she handled a wide range of civil matters.
