years dedicated to excellence in legal education, scholarship, and service in
the pursuit of justice. Its 33 full-time
faculty and 671 students, among the most diverse in the nation, have established
a vibrant and welcoming community. Faculty members are productive, engaged, and
collegial. The curriculum offers innovative programs in a collaborative

skills to succeed in a changing and increasingly global legal market.
The law school and university are seeking a leader who can build
on the law school’s strengths while providing the vision to evolve and thrive.

justice.
