R O G E R A . FA I R FA X J R . Dean and Professor of Law
S
Since I began my tenure as dean in July 2021, I have watched with awe and admiration as faculty, staff, and students have dedicated themselves not just to the rigorous legal education for which AUWCL is known, but also to demonstrating our resolve to “Champion What Matters.” For example, AUWCL students over the summer advanced research on legal issues surrounding femicide in Mexico, the criminalization of homelessness in the United States, and gender-based violence in conflict zones around the world. Others worked on litigation and corporate transactions in large and small law firms, and interned with prosecutor and public defender offices, on Capitol Hill and with federal, state, and local government and regulatory agencies, federal and state judges, and with civil rights and human rights entities.
