I enjoy teaching at MNU because I get to work with bright and talented students. Teaching gives me a chance to talk about a topic that I love: the law. I have a daily opportunity to help students understand how our economic and justice systems work and to discuss the many ways that the law can be used as an effective tool to advance society.
