Description
Learn more about Theresa M. Beiner, first permanent female dean and the Nadine Baum Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, William H. Bowen School of Law, where she has spent her career in the legal academy since 1994. Following roles that included the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Associate Dean for Faculty Development, Dean Beiner assumed the top spot on July 1, 2018. The Bowen School of Law enrolls about 70% of its students from Arkansas and boasts a Rural Practice Incubator to aid those who want to go back to their rural hometowns to practice law. Dean Beiner discusses the new Center for Racial Justice and Criminal Justice Reform that is in development, and that includes a comprehensive court watching program with funding from Walmart. Bowen School of Law focuses on access to justice, professionalism, and public service, the latter being an extremely significant part of the ethos of the school. The required live client experiences through their 7 clinics and other experiential learning opportunities underscore that ethos, and they offer the opportunity for students to enroll in a number of concurrent degree programs, including the popular Masters in Public Service at the UA Clinton School of Public Service. Dean Beiner shares her enthusiasm about their Business Bootcamp and their partnership with the National Center for State Courts, and opines about the future of legal education.
