Two law school faculty members receive professorships |
| By Heidi Murphy |
|
| Two UGA School of Law
faculty members have been rewarded with new titles for their excellent
work both in and out of the classroom. Michael L. Wells has been appointed
to the Marion and W. Colquitt Carter Chair in Tort and Insurance Law
and Anne Proffitt Dupre has been named a J. Alton Hosch Professor
of Law. “At the heart of every highly ranked law school is a corps of dedicated and talented scholars,” says Rebecca H. White, interim law dean. “We are fortunate to have professors like Michael Wells and Anne Dupre available to educate our students.” Wells joined the law faculty in 1978 and specializes in the fields of torts, federal courts and constitutional law. Since 1991 he has occupied a prestigious J. Alton Hosch Professorship at the law school. He is the co-author of two books, Cases and Materials on Constitutional Torts and Constitutional Remedies. He clerked for Judge John D. Butzner Jr. of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and practiced with a law firm in Washington, D.C., prior to joining the law faculty at UGA. A UGA law school graduate who graduated first in her class, Dupre now occupies one of five Hosch Professorships at the school. She joined the law school’s faculty in 1994 and specializes in education law and children and the law. Dupre clerked for Justice Harry A. Blackmun of the U.S. Supreme Court following her clerkship with Judge J.L. Edmondson of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. She also worked as an attorney with a Washington, D.C., firm before joining UGA. |
