"Hamline has always been a student-centered law school. To me this means at least being accessible to students. Moreover, it means being academically rigorous and maintaining the high expectations that experience has shown our students can meet. Only by guiding students to reach their full potential will we have served them well, and prepared them to serve society and justice well."
Professor Martin joined the faculty after five years at Dorsey & Whitney, where he specialized in labor law and civil litigation.
