Chapman University names law school dean
Chapman University has chosen John C. Eastman, an expert on constitutional law who teaches at the law school and appears frequently as a legal commentator on radio and TV, as new dean for its law school, university officials said Tuesday.
Eastman, who has been on the law school’s faculty since 1999 and is the school’s interim associate dean of administration, replaces Parham Williams, who has announced his retirement.
“The best law schools provide opportunities for their students to interact with leaders who possess tremendous energy and vision, and John Eastman had always brought those qualities,” university president James L. Doti said in announcing the appointment, which is effective today.
