After 11 years as dean of the Law School, Howard Hunter announced Dec. 14 that he will be leaving Emory at the end of the academic year.
Every institution needs refreshment, and it is good to have fresh ideas and faces.
During Hunter's tenure, he said the Law School greatly reduced class sizes, built the MacMillan Law Library, developed a law and religion program, and increased the emphasis on international law. His successor will find a school strong, promising and ready for the next chapter in its excellent growth. Though Hunter currently is unsure of his future plans, he said he intends to continue teaching. Hunter has been at Emory since 1976 and will remain on the Law School's faculty after his resignation. I'll never give that up.
