Research Professor of Law

“A good law school education includes being exposed to an intellectually diverse community where students have the opportunity to take a variety of courses and engage in many different types of academic activities.  This is what I like about William Mitchell.  I have been highly impressed by how committed the law school is toward developing future lawyers who are analytically sharp and committed to community service as well.”
