'''INTRODUCTION -- PROFESSOR GILLIS

I received my Bachelor's degree from Harvard (along with my Army ROTC commission). Then, I commanded a Military Police company in France for three years. After law school (Boston University), I moved to New Hampshire and practiced mostly criminal law for over 30 years (prosecution and defense), including a gig as abuse-and-neglect counsel for the NH State child-welfare agency (DCYF).

I have taught over 175 sections of legal studies courses at the college level, either on-campus or on-line, at a variety of colleges. I have been solely at the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) for well over a decade now.

I was chair of the NH House of Representatives Appropriations subcommittee on Justice. I served a term on the Board of Governors of the NH Bar Association. Over the years, I have prosecuted at the town, city and county level.

I have no hobbies, except for walking, Sherlock Holmes studies, and daily 30-minute reading of French writings.
