Malagrinò has been honored as the Charleston School of Law Professor of the Year multiple times. “Students comment on how demanding, confusing, or hard law school can be at times,” he said. “I try to remind them, ‘Just because something is hard, doesn’t mean you can’t be great at it.’”
In 2021, Professor Malagrinò was recognized for excellence in legal education when he was selected for the Order of the Silver Crescent by Governor Henry McMaster. The award is South Carolina’s highest civilian award for significant contributions, leadership, volunteerism, and lifelong influence within a region or community.
Prior to academia, Professor Malagrinò spent six years in private practice as an attorney in San Diego, specializing in complex civil litigation including securities fraud and antitrust class actions. During that time, he prosecuted large class action lawsuits.
Malagrinò earned his undergraduate degree in Economics, International Relations, and Italian Language, Literature & Culture at Syracuse University, where he was an NCAA Division I athlete in swimming and track.
