Faculty

Professor Ray Yasser

A law school is only as good as its faculty. Their knowledge must match their passion for teaching.

Tulsa's faculty are exceptional professors, recognized nationally and internationally for their expertise, and always accessible to their students. They specialize in areas as diverse as international trade, energy regulation, Native American tribal jurisdiction, trial tactics, and bioethics, making them authorities in their fields.

Study with

  • Prof. Marguerite Chapman, medical law and bioethics specialist whose article on the rights of the terminally ill was cited by Chief Justice William Rehnquist in the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark "right-to-die" decision, Cruzan vs. Director, Missouri Department of Health; or
  • Prof. Marianne Blair, who authored groundbreaking articles on controversial adoption issues; or
  • Prof. Rex Zedalis, who explored the international legal issues raised by the Kuwaiti oil fires following Operation Desert Storm; or
  • Any of our additional 35 full-time or more than 50 adjunct professors.

Students

A law school must care about its students. At Tulsa Law College of Law, students come first.

Small classes and individual attention are the norm here. Our faculty have a true open-door policy, allowing students the real opportunity of getting to know them.

Our facilities are student-friendly - from the beautiful, and inviting Mabee Legal Information Center to John Rogers Hall.
