Titi Liu

Titi Liu brings both international experience and a deeply held concern for the threats to civil rights here in the United States to her work as Executive Director at the Asian Law Caucus (ALC). She began her legal career as an associate in the China practice of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison. Ms. Liu worked for seven years as the Law and Rights program officer in the Ford Foundation’s Beijing office, supporting the development of nongovernmental organizations and leading two initiatives in China. The first initiative, “Reform of Criminal Justice Administration,” promoted increased protections for criminal defendants’ human rights including freedom from arbitrary detention, access to counsel and the right to a fair trial. The second, “Protecting the Rights of Vulnerable Groups,” focused on enhancing legal representation for vulnerable individuals including women, children, laborers and the elderly. Prior to joining ALC, Ms. Liu was the Garvey Schubert Barer Visiting Professor in Asian Law at University of Washington School of Law. She is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
