Law school looking for new dean
Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School has launched a search for a new dean because of the upcoming retirement of Richardson Lynn.
Lynn, who joined the law school in 2006, recently announced he will step down next year. The school is forming a search committee to find a successor to lead the 80-year-old law school. Michael C. Markovitz, a member of the school’s board of directors, will chair a 10-person search panel comprised of faculty from the Atlanta and Savannah campuses, board members, students, alumni and administrative staff, the school said.
