Melanie D. Wilson Dean of the Law School and Roy L. Steinheimer, Jr. Professor of Law
HANK YOU FOR JOINING THE LAW SCHOOL AS WE CELEBRATE OUR COMMUNITY’S INTELLECTUAL engagement and our faculty’s impressive scholarly achievement. As dean, I could not be prouder of my colleagues and their influential work. We are immensely fortunate to enjoy so many nationally and internationally respected teacher-scholars. The publications of these talented W&L Law professors touch on the most important and complex legal and policy issues of our time. Their research offers ideas and solutions for improving communities, our nation, and the world. Our faculty share their expertise in corporate governance, intellectual property, constitutional law and theory, transnational law, the Eighth Amendment prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, tax, and much more. Our students, in particular, benefit from the breadth and depth of our faculty’s research and inquiry, many as research assistants and all as students in our classrooms and clinics.
