From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew J. McClurg is a professor of law at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, specializing in torts, products liability, and privacy law.

After working for several years as a litigator, McClurg taught at Wake Forest University, the University of Colorado, and Golden Gate University. He became the Nadine H. Baum Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and was a member of the founding faculty at the established Florida International University College of Law from 2002 to 2006.
