 Roger E. Hartley is an Assistant Professor of Public Administration and Policy at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. Professor Hartley joined the School of Public Administration and Policy in the fall of 2001. He received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Georgia, where he specialized in public law, American politics, and public policy.
Professor Hartley currently teaches in both the undergraduate and graduate public administration programs at Arizona. In total, he has about 10 years experience teaching. He taught as a graduate student at the University of Georgia where he won an award as an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant, taught American politics in the City University of New York System while finishing his Ph.D., and began his first teaching job at Roanoke College from 1998-2001, where he was nominated for college-wide teaching honors.
In 2003 at Arizona, he was honored by the Eller College with the Don Wells Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award. At the graduate level, he teaches core and skill courses on statistics and negotiation, but his predominant teaching expertise is judicial administration and reform, as well as other courses on law and courts.
His research also focuses on court administration and court reforms. Specifically, he has studied state court budget politics, the increased politicization of lower federal court nominees, and court reforms such as alternative dispute resolution and drug courts. To date he has published articles in such journals as The Court Manager, Judicature, Justice System Journal, The Judges Journal, Public Administration Review, Public Budgeting and Finance, Political Science Quarterly, Administration and Society, Law and Society, American Journal of Criminal Justice, and State Constitutional Commentary and Notes. He recently published his first book, Alternative Dispute Resolution in Civil Justice Systems with LFB Scholarly Press in 2002.
In recent years, his research has been discovered by the court community where his articles have been assigned at major court management and judicial conferences. He has also testified before the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Judicial Independence and was invited this fall to speak to the National Association for Women Judges.
In addition to his research and teaching, Dr. Hartley keeps active in public life and has many hobbies. He has been appointed by the Arizona State Supreme Court to the Board of Legal Document Preparers, a regulatory board that certifies paralegal professionals.
