Nathalie Martin joined the UNM law faculty in 1998. Her research focuses on consumer law and bankruptcy, as well as elder law. Most recently, she has studied predatory lending products such as payday loans, as well as products and services offered to the elderly. She teaches commercial and consumer law, as well the Economic Development (Business and Tax) Clinic at the UNM School of Law. In addition to her other courses, she runs a program promoting financial literacy in New Mexico high schools, and teaches a two-day financial literacy course for law students and undergraduates.
She is a former Resident Scholar at the American Bankruptcy Institute. In that capacity, she has appeared on CNN, ABC, CNBC, and other television networks. She has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and many other newspapers, and is a regular blogger at Credit Slips, the Nation's leading blog on debt and credit issues.
Professor Martin turned to teaching after 10 years in private practice as a bankruptcy attorney. Since joining the UNM law faculty, she has taught summer sessions in Greece and Italy through Temple University's International Programs, and in UNM's Guanajuato Summer Law Institute.
Professor Martin's passions include two long-term life goals: first, helping small businesses get started in New Mexico, and thus improve the State's overall economy; and second, helping consumers avoid the many traps and pitfalls created by the current consumer credit world.
