Meet the Deans

At WashU Law, we pride ourselves on fostering a supportive and engaging environment where students can thrive academically, professionally, and personally. Our world-class faculty are not only leaders in their fields, but also passionate educators dedicated to teaching and mentoring the next generation of legal professionals. Through rigorous coursework, experiential learning opportunities, and a vibrant campus life, we prepare our students to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving legal landscape.

Our commitment to service to our communities, clients, and colleagues is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you are a prospective student, a current member of our community, or an alum, I encourage you to engage with the many opportunities WashULaw offers to make a positive impact on society.

As the new Dean, I am honored to join this distinguished community known for its dedication to collaboration and intellectual curiosity. As I settle into my new role, I look forward to getting to know you—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the law school. Your perspectives are invaluable as we continue to build on WashULaw’s strong foundation and work together to prepare new lawyers as effective advocates and officers of the court, and to promote our legal system’s foundational principle of justice.

I invite you to learn more about our programs, faculty, and the WashU Law community.
