NEW PERSPECTIVES ON BUSINESS LAW

Professor Diane Lourdes Dick, who teaches tax, business and commercial law courses, joined the faculty as a professor. For just over a decade, she served on the faculty at Seattle University School of Law and recently served as chair of the Business Law Section of the Washington State Bar Association.

Professor Dick’s scholarship focuses on commercial finance, business bankruptcy and out-of-court restructuring, and business entity taxation. Her articles have appeared in law reviews and peer-reviewed journals, and her scholarship has been cited in courts and has been featured in The New York Times and Reuters Breaking Views. She has been invited to speak at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Brookings Institution, as well as for professional associations and law schools.

MAKING PHILOSOPHY FOUNDATIONAL

Professor Andrew Jordan joined the faculty as an associate professor. Professor Jordan has an extensive background in both philosophy and law, holding a PhD from the University of Washington and a JD from Michigan Law.

His research explores issues in legal and moral philosophy, constitutional theory, and contract law. Professor Jordan’s work has appeared in peer-reviewed philosophy journals and leading law reviews such as Philosophical Quarterly, Erkenntnis, the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence, and the Georgetown Law Journal.

He served as a faculty fellow at Michigan Law School and has clerked for Judge Ronald Gould of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and for Justice Pat DeWine of the Ohio Supreme Court. Professor Jordan is a member of the Ohio Bar.

HOLDING AI ACCOUNTABLE

Iowa Law welcomed Associate Professor Alicia Solow-Niederman, who is expanding the school’s offerings in an increasingly important area: law and technology, including topics such as artificial intelligence and information privacy. She explores ways of ensuring accountability; promoting ethical development; and reckoning with social, political and economic power as algorithmic technology advances.

Professor Solow-Niederman arrived from Harvard Law School, where she was a Climenko fellow and lecturer on law. She served as the inaugural fellow in artificial intelligence, law and policy for UCLA Law’s Program on Understanding Law, Science and Evidence and clerked for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. A cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, she was forum editor for the Harvard Law Review. Her scholarship has been published or is forthcoming in law reviews including the Northwestern University Law Review, the Southern California Law Review and the Yale Law Journal Forum.
