The University of New Mexico School of Law has announced that it will take the road less traveled, and will be led by co-deans. UNM Professors Alfred Mathewson and Sergio Pareja will share the job. Mathewson holds a JD from Yale and joined the faculty in 1983. Pareja holds a JD from Georgetown and joined UNM in 2005.
