From Dean Dan - January 25, 2018

Each year the law school welcomes a number of distinguished faculty from other law schools around the country to teach at Boyd. These nationally recognized scholars and teachers enrich our curriculum and our scholarly community. This semester we are delighted to host three leading scholars in constitutional law, criminal law, and statutory interpretation.

• Linda L. Ammons, former dean at Widener Law and a national leader in legal education, will teach Administrative Law. Dean Ammons is on the faculty of the National Judicial College and a fellow of the American Bar Foundation. 
• Joshua Dressler, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus and the Frank R. Strong Chair in Law Emeritus at The Ohio State University, will teach Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure - Investigation. A recipient of multiple teaching awards, Professor Dressler is the author of, among many other publications, the leading casebook on criminal law.
• Mark G. Yudof former president of the University of California System, former chancellor of the University of Texas System, former president at Minnesota, and former dean at the University of Texas School of Law, will visit the law school for two weeks this spring semester and teach a course on the First Amendment. This course will conclude with a mini-symposium on the First Amendment and free speech in the context of higher education. That symposium, which will be open to the public, will begin the morning of Feb. 13 and end shortly after lunch.

Linda Ammons and Joshua Dressler will be on campus throughout the semester and Mark Yudof will join us from late January through mid-February. I very much hope you’ll have an opportunity to join us for some of the events we’ll be hosting and to meet our very distinguished guests. 

Best,

Dan
Dean & Richard J. Morgan Professor of Law
