Robin F. Wilson, professor of law at Washington and Lee University School of Law, has been named Class of 1958 Law Alumni Professor of Law.
Wilson’s experience lies in family law and health law, where she has lobbied for the protection of children and the enactment of same-sex marriage laws. She was named Teacher of the Year by the Women Law Students organization in 2008 and was elected to the American Law Institute in 2009.
“Professor Wilson is an extraordinary example of a scholar in action, bringing her expertise to bear on legal and social policy issues of national and international importance,” said Washington and Lee Dean Rodney Smolla.
Wilson said she feels “honored” to receive the chair position and believes that it is a privilege to follow in the footsteps of her colleagues as a teacher and scholar.
