After law school, Professor Pucillo completed judicial clerkships at both the trial and appellate level, including a clerkship with Judge Ronald Lee Gilman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Immediately before joining Michigan State Law, Professor Pucillo held visiting teaching appointments at the University of North Carolina School of Law and Tulane University Law School.
