Meet the new faculty members at the William S. Boyd School of Law for Fall 2023. 

Professor Kathyrn M. Stanchi has been elected as a member of the American Law Institute (ALI). Professor Stanchi’s expertise is in persuasion, rhetoric, writing, and feminist theory, focusing on how those disciplines intersect.

When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, professor David Orentlicher was uniquely qualified to analyze the controversial decision from the intersection of health care, ethics, public policy, and law.

While it did not initially appear to have the intense gravity of the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning Roe v. Wade on June 24, the ruling on Kennedy v. Bremerton School District three days later prompted William S. Boyd Professor of Law at UNLV Leslie Griffin to write as energetically as she ever has.

In the decades-long battle to control how industrial air, water, and land pollution is regulated, the U.S. Supreme Court has clipped the wings of federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV professor Bret Birdsong believes.

One U.S. Supreme Court case that mostly flew under the mainstream media’s radar was nonetheless significant to legal scholars whose work focuses on Native American sovereignty—scholars such as Addie Rolnick, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV.

The Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV continues to build on its global reputation for impactful writing and research in the multidimensional realm of dispute resolution.
