The University of Windsor has just announced their new dean, Camille Cameron. Dean Cameron will take over on July 1, 2012. Cribbing now a little from Windsor's press release:
Cameron is a professor of law at Australia's Melbourne University, a former associate dean there, and director of its Civil Justice Research Group. She earned a BA in arts from Saint Mary's University, an LLB from the University of New Brunswick, and an LLM from the University of Cambridge. Prior to becoming an academic, she conducted a 10-year practice as a trial lawyer, specializing in civil litigation.
And from her page at the University of Melbourne:
Camille Cameron joined the Faculty of Law as an Associate Professor in 2001 and became a Professor in January 2005. She was the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) from 2003 to 2005. Camille obtained degrees in Arts and Law in Canada, where she also practised law for 10 years as a trial lawyer specialising in civil litigation.
In 1992, she obtained an LLM from the University of Cambridge and took up a full-time teaching position in Hong Kong. The subjects she has taught include Civil Procedure, Civil Trial Practice, Negotiation Skills, Advocacy and Dispute Resolution.
Her research interests include civil procedure, the administration of civil justice and procedural reform. She was a founding member of the Advocacy Institute of Hong Kong and a member of its first Board of Governors and Board of Studies. She has published articles on civil procedure and is the co-author of The Principles and Practice of Civil Procedure in Hong Kong (2001, Sweet and Maxwell Asia) and Litigation: Evidence and Procedure (7th edition, 2005, Lexis Nexis Butterworths, Australia).
Congratulations to the University of Windsor and Dean Cameron!
Windsor Faculty, Staff, and Students and Alumni are very pleased that Professor Camille Cameron will be our new Dean. She had overwhelming support from all segments of the Windsor Law community. One small correction to your post. Professor Cameron will assume the Deanship on the 1st of January, 2012 not the 1st of July as posted. An interim Dean will be appointed to bridge the six months between the end of my term and the beginning of Professor Cameron's. Thanks for the post.
