Brietta Clark, has recently been appointed the 19th dean of Loyola Marymount University Loyola Law School (LLS). This marks a significant role as she is the first woman and the first Black person to lead the esteemed institution. A dedication to social justice, academic excellence, and expansion of legal education access, were the leading factors in Clark’s decision to choose LLS as her professional home.
Prior to this, Clark was serving as the interim dean, since July, after the departure of Michael Waterstone. Waterstone had successfully run the law school for seven years before accepting a new role as dean of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law on August 15.
Clark expressed her gratitude towards the LLS community and Loyola Marymount University for entrusting her with the opportunity to further the school’s mission and enhance its impact. To read more about Dean Brietta Clark’s journey and her vision for Loyola Law School, visit the original article.
