Professor Zamoff Named Law School’s First-Ever Assistant Dean of Experiential Education

Professor Mitch Zamoff was recently named Minnesota Law’s inaugural assistant dean of experiential education. He will start in this new role this summer.

Zamoff, who currently serves as the J. Stewart and Mario Thomas McClendon Professor in Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution, joined Minnesota Law in 2017 and currently serves as director of the law school’s litigation program, chair of the civil litigation concentration, and co-director of the law in practice program. He teaches and writes in the areas of alternative dispute resolution, civil procedure, evidence, evidence drafting, and law in practice.

Zamoff is a two-time recipient of the Stanley V. Kinyon Teacher of the Year Award (2016 & 2021). He is also a member of the American Arbitration Association Council and a highly regarded neutral. He will work with faculty in these areas and work on strategically aligning the Law School’s work in these many areas of experiential learning.

In his new role, Zamoff will bring leadership and coordination to the Law School’s curriculum and programs to enhance and enrich the experiential education program at the Law School (excluding law clinics), including Law in Practice, legal writing, moot court, mock trial, litigation and transactional skills courses, and field placement programs.
