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 WashU Law’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.
