Faculty and Staff

The strength of our program derives from the blend of our students, the program structure, the resources of the law school and the university as a whole, and our faculty. In addition to the faculty listed here who teach our core courses and the electives we offer within the program, our students also benefit from many additional faculty drawn from around the university who teach single classes within some of our courses as invited experts who bring additional perspectives to the subjects at hand.

Our faculty are united in their enthusiasm for the principles and values underlying the field of conflict resolution and are dedicated to engaging our students in both its theory and its practical applications.
