Jacksonville University College of Law Welcomes Four New Faculty
As the Jacksonville University College of Law wraps up its inaugural year of classes, it will add four faculty members who will begin teaching in the fall 2023 semester.
The new faculty members include Assistant Professor Lindsay Head, Assistant Professor Alex Yelderman, Associate Professor Latisha Nixon-Jones, and Assistant Professor Lauren Knight.
“We’re proud to welcome four outstanding law faculty to the Jacksonville University College of Law,” said Law Dean Nick Allard. “Each of them are recognized leaders in their fields and have chosen to join us because they’re dedicated to building an excellent law school in the heart of Jacksonville. Their abilities as teachers and scholars, their practical experience, and their commitment to serving the college of law, the university, and the public will prove especially valuable as our inaugural class becomes second-year law students, and as we prepare to welcome our second class of students.”
