Graduates go on to careers in every facet of law and legal practice.
A distinguished academic, the new Dean will continue to expand on the Faculty’s themes of Access to Justice and Transnational Law, while providing professional direction and collegial leadership. A member of the University’s senior management team, the Dean of Law will have experience in academic administration, will be a visible and vocal champion of the institution and the Faculty, and will be active in raising their profile and increasing support for their continued expansion.
