About James

James Fallows Tierney (email: jtierney@harveysilverglate.com, office phone 617-876-5610) joined Harvey’s office in June 2007. Originally from Newton, Massachusetts, James received an A.B. in Political Science from Brown University (2006), as well as an M.A. in International Relations from the University of Chicago (2007) with a concentration in international law.

At Brown, James served as a student member of the University Disciplinary Committee, as a teaching assistant in the Biology department, and as president of the Brown Outing Club. One paper he wrote, defending the extension of habeas corpus to suspected terrorists, was published in the Dartmouth Law Journal. Similarly, his master’s thesis challenged the Central Intelligence Agency’s high value terrorist detainee program—the CIA’s “secret prison” system—as inconsistent with international humanitarian and human rights law.
