Our faculty are leaders in scholarship, teaching and service, as detailed in our faculty profiles. Here are highlights of their recent achievements:
Stembler Family Distinguished Professor in Business Law Christopher M. Bruner published “Corporate Personhood, Corporate Rights, and the Contingency of Corporate Law” in 16 Transnational Legal Theory (2025).
Regents' Professor of International Law & Woodruff Chair in International Law Diane Marie Amann presented “Child-Taking Justice and Forced Residential Schooling of Indigenous Americans” as part of the International Law Colloquium at Washington University in St. Louis.

Smith Professor Hillel Y. Levin offers insights on the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos: “I urge the U.S. Supreme Court not to adopt the defendants’ interpretation of proximate cause as it would radically redefine this concept. Doing so would have far-reaching and unpredictable consequences and could potentially make it impossible to hold industries accountable for their harms caused by their products.”
