Scheuerman joined the faculty at CSOL in Fall 2006 after serving for two years as an Honorable Abraham L.

While at Temple, she taught courses in professional responsibility, legal research and writing, torts and products liability.

Scheuerman graduated Order of the Coif from Washington University School of Law, where she won a Scholar In Law award and served as notes editor of the Washington University Law Quarterly. She received a B.A., cum laude, from the College of the Holy Cross. In 1992, she studied Chinese language, culture and politics at Nanjing University in China. Most recently, she earned an LL.M. in Legal Education from Temple University School of Law.

After receiving her law degree, Scheuerman served as a law clerk to Chief Judge Jean C.
