A Scholar for the Ages

Because age and race are complex topics deeply embedded in legal doctrine, exploring their intersection forms the basis of Professor Alexander Boni-Saenz’s teaching and groundbreaking research.

“Alex is very good at combining worlds, both in his scholarship and in his life,” says Katharine Baker, family law professor at the University of Iowa College of Law. Boni-Saenz was formerly professor and Associate Dean for Scholarship and Faculty Development at Chicago-Kent College of Law, where Baker served in a similar role.
