Description
Join us for a conversation with Matthew R. Lyon, Vice President and Dean of the Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law, a position he started in July 2020. Dean Lyon is the fourth dean of the young Knoxville, Tennessee law school that opened in 2009 at Lincoln Memorial University, which was established in 1897 and named for President Abraham Lincoln. Prior to being named Dean, he served as Associate Dean for Academic Programs and oversaw their successful efforts to obtain full approval from the American Bar Association. Dean Lyon shares that Duncan School of Law serves largely the Southern Appalachia Region, and is proud of its student-centered focus and affordable education for many students traditionally underrepresented in the profession, graduates who go on to serve the underserved. Duncan School of Law offers a robust externship program and opportunities for students to learn in local law firms. Dean Lyon opines about the future of legal education and his hope that law schools move beyond the traditional and lockstep model currently available, to more flexible delivery models and training for future attorneys, including limited license opportunities.
