California Western installs new president and dean

Niels B. Schaumann was installed as the ninth president and dean of California Western School of Law on June 28. He assumed his duties in August 2012. "I envision a law school where each item of the curriculum has been vetted by a team of faculty and practitioners," Schaumann said in his address to faculty, staff and trustees. "Our graduates will be able immediately to perform many basic legal tasks without supervision and, consequently, they will find jobs. That's why they come to us, and that's what we will help them accomplish." Prior to his appointment at California Western, Schaumann served as a professor and vice dean for faculty at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minn. — Pat Broderick
