Faculty by Name

The faculty consists of honor graduates from law schools throughout the country. Virtually all faculty members have had substantial experience in private practice. Many have served as judicial clerks—three as clerks to Supreme Court Justices. Adjunct and visiting faculty members include state and federal trial and appellate judges, outstanding practicing lawyers and professors from other law schools. Faculty members, including the KU Wheat Law Library teaching faculty, regularly participate in symposia on a variety of legal subjects, publish widely in legal journals, and enjoy national and international recognition for the quality of their work. Many have written important treatises and casebooks used at law schools around the country.
