Dean Walter Huffman will lead a panel discussion at the American Bar Association’s Mid-Year Conference Dean’s Workshop on the issues facing Law School Deans in today’s environment. Dean Huffman, who also led a panel discussion at the Southeastern Association of Law Schools Conference last summer on the role of law schools in the university community, will ask the attendees to consider and discuss the multiple constituencies a Law Dean must consider and satisfy in order to facilitate quality and affordable legal education in America today. As Dean Huffman noted in his previous panel presentation, unlike the past era in which basically the most esteemed academic on the law faculty was elected Dean, today’s Law Dean, to be effective, must be part CEO, part fundraiser, part politician, and still meet the academic expectations of the Law Faculty and University Administration.
