She researches and writes about immigration law, citizenship, and immigrant rights, with a specific emphasis on undocumented immigrants. Professor Nunez's articles have been published in the Southern California Law Review, Wisconsin Law Review, and Utah Law Review. Her most recent scholarship explores the early history of U.S. immigration law, including the era of Chinese exclusion, as a context for analyzing the trajectory of constitutional immigration law. Her commentary on immigration-related current events has appeared in the Deseret News, the Salt Lake Tribune, on BYU Radio, and KUER.
Dean Nunez has taught a variety of courses, including Immigration Law, the Plenary Power Colloquium, Immigrant Rights, Torts, and Professional Responsibility. As part of the Law and Social Change Initiative, she helps invite speakers, develop courses, and create opportunities for students interested in law's potential to effect social change and improve lives. Dean Nunez also co-founded the J. Reuben Clark Law School's Refugee and Immigration Initiative, through which law students provide legal assistance to women and children detained in an immigration detention center in southern Texas. As part of the Initiative, law students travel to Texas for an intensive 1-week clinic in which they prepare detained women for interviews with asylum officers, help research for and draft immigration court documents, and provide other legal assistance. In 2017, second- and third-year law students recognized Dean Nunez as Professor of the Year.
An active member of the legal academy and her local community, Dean Nunez participates in many organizations. She is currently a member of the governing board of Better Days 2020, a nonprofit organization dedicated to popularizing Utah women's history, especially its early commitment to women's suffrage, to instill that legacy in Utah's future. She also sits on the governing board of the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion, is a member of the Association of American Law Schools Committee for the Recruitment and Retention of Minority Law Teachers and Students, and was recently appointed a member of the Utah Advisory Committee for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. She also served as a member of the founding governing board for the Utah Chapter of the U.S. National Committee for UN Women, which supports international programs aimed at social, political, and economic equality for women and girls.
A summa cum laude graduate of the Brigham Young University Law School and Managing Editor of the BYU Law Review, Dean Nunez clerked for the Honorable Fortunato P. Benavides of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She subsequently practiced commercial litigation at Stoel Rives LLP in Salt Lake City, Utah, and joined the BYU law faculty in 2008.
