What’s Happening at Wake Forest Law
It`s #FacultyFriday! This week, we’re highlighting the faculty who teach in our top-rated Legal Analysis, Writing & Research (LAWR) program.
In LAWR, students learn how to research, analyze, and write about legal problems with clarity and precision—skills they’ll use every day in practice.
We are so grateful for our incredible LAWR faculty!

How food is stored can make a significant difference in how much is wasted. Taking a few minutes each week to organize your refrigerator—moving older items to the front and keeping food visible—can help ensure items are used before they spoil. This simple habit makes it easier to track what you have and reduces the likelihood of food being forgotten and thrown away.

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.

What can you do with a Master of Legal Studies (MLS)?
If your career intersects with regulation, compliance, contracts, or policy, the MLS can help you move from reacting to leading. Professionals in healthcare, tech, HR, finance, and public institutions use legal knowledge to make stronger decisions and reduce risk.

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.
