About the Law and Leadership Program
In 2019, the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law was honored to welcome Governor Brian Sandoval as a Distinguished Fellow in Law and Leadership. Together, Governor Sandoval and the law school created the Law and Leadership Program which serves to:
1) prepare future lawyers to take leadership positions in government and public service;
2) bring together national and state leaders and scholars to discuss leadership theory and application; and
3) further the academic study of leadership and the role and ethics of lawyers in leadership positions.
