Areas of Expertise

International criminal law, complex criminal litigation, terrorism, terrorist financing, anti-money laundering, organized crime

Since joining the Notre Dame Law School faculty in 1989, Gurulé has taken two significant leaves, one to serve as assistant U.S. attorney general and another to serve as undersecretary of the U.S. treasury department for enforcement. He was in the latter position when the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, after which he led a successful effort to block more than $125 million in assets belonging to suspected terrorist financiers. As undersecretary for enforcement, he also oversaw Customs, the Secret Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Gurulé is an expert in complex criminal litigation, but his teaching and scholarship also concern criminal law, criminal and scientific evidence, and international criminal law. He has written and lectured on the problem of organized crime and has traveled extensively in eastern Europe to investigate and discuss the problems of organized crime in the countries of the former Soviet Union. He also helped train 20 Iraqi judges who presided over the trials of Saddam Hussein and other members of the overthrown Ba’athist government.
