Anderson '81, the Richard M. and Anita Calkins Distinguished Professor of Law, has been named Dean of Drake University Law School, effective July 1, 2016. He succeeds Ben Ullem, who is currently serving a two-year term as Dean of the Law School. "I am honored to be selected to lead the Law School during an important time in its history," said Jerry, who has served on the Drake Law faculty since 1991. "We are in the midst of a transformative period in legal education, and Drake is well-positioned to creatively adapt to the changing needs of students and the profession." Jerry hopes to enhance the 150-year-old Drake Law School's visibility and profile on the national scale, and also locally where the Law School serves the Greater Des Moines community, including through pro bono work performed by the Drake Legal Clinic. "We have a very special group students, staff, faculty, and alumni who play a huge role in the practice, advancement, and improvement of the law." Jerry earned his B.S. in business administration at the University of Kansas and his J.D. at Stanford Law School. Before joining Drake Law School in 1991, he taught at the Catholic University of America Columbus Law School and University of Oklahoma Law School. He also practiced at Lathrop & Norquist in Kansas City, Missouri, and clerked for the Honorable Alex Kozinski in the U.S. Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit. While at Drake Law School, Jerry has twice been selected as the Leland Forrest Outstanding Professor of the Year, and he served as Associate Dean from 1996 to 2001. His areas of expertise include administrative law, environmental law, natural resources law, and property law. Jerry has co-authored two books on environmental and property law, in addition to numerous articles and presentations. He has been active on a number of Law School, University, and community committees and boards, including the editorial board of the international Environmental Law Review and the board of directors of the Iowa Environmental Council. "Jerry brings to the position of Dean a rich knowledge of Drake Law School, an extensive range of experience, and a deep commitment to the University," said Joe Lenz, Drake's interim provost, in an announcement to the Drake community. "Dean Ullem has done excellent work to lay a foundation for several important initiatives that I plan to carry forward," Anderson said. "I thank him for his incredible service to the Law School, both as an alumnus and as Dean."
