Professor Mosher joined Osgoode Hall Law School's faculty in 2001 after teaching at the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto, where she was also the Director of the Combined LLB/MSW program. She has practised as an associate in the areas of labour law, constitutional law and general civil litigation. From 2001 to 2004, she was the Academic Director of the Intensive Program in Poverty Law at Parkdale Community Legal Services. Her research has focused on legal interventions that impact upon women abused in their intimate relationships, and she is currently engaged in a research project exploring the multiple ways in which state policies and practices are implicated in sustaining woman abuse. She has also published on poverty law, access to justice for disadvantaged groups, legal aid, and legal ethics. Professor Mosher is co-editor of Disorderly People: Law and the Politics of Exclusion in Ontario (Halifax: Fernwood Press, 2002), co-author of the reports, Walking on Eggshells, Abused Women's Experiences of Ontario's Welfare System, April, 2004 and Welfare Fraud: The Constitution of Social Assistance as Crime, March, 2005 and co-author of Law for Social Workers (Toronto: Thomson Carswell, 2008).
