Info

Mark Totten has served many roles as a practicing lawyer, including as a federal prosecutor, an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, and more recently as an advocate for victims of human trafficking.

Prior to joining the MSU College of Law in 2008, Mark was an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Appellate Staff, where he handled numerous cases on a variety of statutory and constitutional issues. He then clerked for Judge Thomas Griffith on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, where he worked on several national security matters. Alongside his work at MSU College of Law, Mark served as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office (Western District of Michigan). He briefed and argued several cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit involving predatory lending, child exploitation, domestic violence, and drug and gun crimes. He earned his J.D. from Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in Ethics from Yale University.

Mark primarily teaches criminal law-related courses, including Criminal Law (for first year students); Criminal Procedure: Investigation; and Criminal Procedure: Adjudication. In addition, he has taught Constitutional Law I, State Constitutional Law, National Security Law, and Lawyers & Ethics. His recent scholarship has focused on public enforcement. For example, The Enforcers & the Great Recession (2015) examines the critical and often unrecognized role that several state attorneys general played before, during, and after the financial crisis to protect consumers.
