Camala Ann Richardson (she/her/hers) joined the Newhouse School in the Spring 2025 semester as an adjunct professor teaching Advertising and Public Relations Law as well as Media Law. In both classes, she integrates the protections and the restrictions of the First Amendment and how students may use them after graduation.
Prior to joining Syracuse University, Richardson taught at the New England School of Law while she managed Richardson Law, which focused on domestic relations and civil litigation throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However, she began her career in advertising and marketing which led to becoming a valuable resource for pharmaceutical companies and financial markets by implementing enterprise software to decrease costs, which increased their profit margins globally. It was at 40 years old that Richardson went to law school, and now she blends her experiences to educate her students and prepare them for their future.
Richardson has a juris doctor from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and a bachelor of science from Rochester Institute of Technology in marketing and communications. She has several certifications which include mediation from Mediation Works, Inc.; time management from Franklin Covey, Inc.; and personal and business coaching from the International Federation of Coaching. She is also certified in DiSCĀ®, a personal assessment tool to help ignite cultural change and positively shape a company's workforce.
