A third have written the casebooks and treatises used in their classrooms and at law schools across the country. They are practitioners with decades of experience. At KU Law, these respected legal minds will challenge and engage you.
Melanie Wilson brings her extensive litigation experience, including time as a United States attorney, to her teaching and scholarship. She authors a criminal law casebook, and news media consult her frequently for her expertise in that area. “Teaching law is a privilege I revere. My rigorous and interactive teaching style is designed to encourage intellectual curiosity, promote the open and professional exchange of diverse ideas, and spur reasoned analysis and personal and professional growth.”
They’ll also offer advice and guidance when you need it. Law faculty offices surround and open into the heart of Green Hall, the Wheat Law Library. So you’re never more than a few steps away from your teachers and mentors, and their doors are always open to students.
