Memphis Law Names Kevin Smith Dean

By Dan Filler

The Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis has named Kevin Smith its new dean.  Smith, who was the acting dean last year, and the interim dean this year, has been at Memphis since 1993.  He took his JD and his PhD (in political science) from the University of Iowa (where, I might add, my dad got his doctorate - albeit during the Truman administration.)  Dean Smith's  cv is here.  Congrats to Memphis for successfully completing its search.
