Susan Keller - Professor of Law, Western State College of Law Professor Susan Keller first joined the faculty at Western State University College of Law in 1989 after teaching at the University of Miami and clerking for the Hon. Robert N. Wilentz, Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. She has published extensively in the area of Feminist Legal Theory, exploring the legal treatment of gender and sexuality. In 2002, she received a Master’s degree in Creative Writing at the University of California at Irvine. From 2004 to 2007, Professor Keller served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, overseeing the academic program.

Kim Hai Person - Professor Pearson’s current research and writing projects focus on identity and children in international migration streams, including trafficking, adoption, asylum-seeking travel, natural disaster, and economic immigration. In the context of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), a legal framework exists for extending legal protection based on a child’s identity. Combining research on implementing the CRC’s legal principles in alignment with children’s identities may provide significant interventions in cases of violence and oppression of children. Professor Pearson’s expertise includes Contracts, Law & Sexuality, ADR, and Wills & Trusts.
