What’s Happening at Wake Forest Law
Wake Forest Law is delighted to welcome two new faculty members to our community this fall: Professor Sania Anwar and Professor Kristie Bluett.
Professor Sania R. Anwar is joining Wake Forest Law from Columbia Law School, where she was the inaugural Ruth Bader Ginsburg Academic Fellow and is currently pursuing her doctoral studies. Her research areas include law and philosophy, theoretical foundations of private law, and equality. Serving as an Assistant Professor of Law, she will teach Torts and Private Law.
Professor Kristie Bluett joins the Wake Forest Law Legal Writing faculty as an Assistant Professor of Legal Writing. An expert in international human rights law, her scholarship specifically focuses on international migration and sex-based discrimination.
She is currently an Associate Professor of Clinical Law and Director of the Domestic Violence Clinic at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, where she has been teaching since Fall 2022.

Food waste happens everywhere, including on campus.
A few small choices can make a big difference:
🍕 Take only what you’ll eat
🍗 Save leftovers for later
🍠 Check for extra food to take to go

On March 28, the Wake Forest Law community came together at Joymongers for the Public Interest Law Organization’s (PILO) annual Spring Auction.
The evening brought students, faculty, alumni, and friends together in support of a shared purpose: expanding access to public-interest opportunities. Through generous contributions and enthusiastic participation, the event raised critical funding for summer grants that enable students to pursue meaningful, service-driven legal work.
Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped support students pursuing public-interest work.
On Friday, March 27, 2026, the Wake Forest Law Review hosted the symposium “Injury, Insight, and Influence: Celebrating the Work of Professor Michael Green.”
The symposium honored former Wake Forest Law Professor Michael Green and his legacy as a scholar, teacher, and leader in tort law. Panels brought together leading voices in the field to explore pressing and emerging developments that build on Professor Green’s work.
Discussions included “Adjudicating Torts: Judges, Juries, & the Dynamics of the Civil Trial,” “Restating Responsibility: New Torts, Modern Harms, & Ethical Foundations,” “Accountability in Complex Systems: The Relationship Between Regulation & Tort Law,” and “Reflections on a Legacy: Lessons Learned from Michael Green About Life, Law, & Love.”
Thank you to the sponsors, panelists, moderators, and the Wake Forest Law Review for organizing a meaningful tribute to Professor Green’s lasting impact.
April is Earth Month—a time to focus on small changes that can make a big impact.
One of the easiest places to start? Food waste.
In the US, 30–40% of food goes uneaten—wasting money and resources, and contributing to climate change.
Try this to get started:
🌎 Check your fridge before shopping
🌎 Make a simple grocery list
🌎 Buy only what you’ll use
Follow along this month for more easy ways to waste less.
Did you know that in the 1980s, Wake Forest Law had not one, but two student newspapers: Hearsay and Ipse Dixit. On April 1, Ipse Dixit would publish a special April Fools issue, titled Ipse Non Dixit, with some wacky, off-the-walls articles and some that may have felt a little too real (four years of law school—eek!).
What do you think, should we resurrect Ipse Dixit??
