Faculty Spotlight: Anastacia Greene

Anastacia Greene teaches Real Property and Immigration Law at the UA Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law. She previously served as Clinical Director of Bowen’s Consumer Protection Clinic from 2022 to 2024 and directed the Immigration Law Clinic at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Her legal career includes roles as a clinical fellow, adjunct professor, and public interest attorney working with low-income clients.

Greene’s earlier practice included supervising attorneys in pro bono clinics and managing legal services for Catholic Charities, the Legal Assistance Foundation, and Legal Services of Southern Piedmont. Her teaching is grounded in real-world experience, bringing students practical insights into the legal system.

Her scholarship explores intersections between distinct areas of law, such as criminal law and landlord-tenant law or immigration and family law. Her recent publication examines Arkansas’s criminal eviction statute, which allows tenants to be charged with a misdemeanor for failure to pay rent.

Greene was drawn to Bowen for its emphasis on public service and practice-ready education. “I am continually impressed by students’ enthusiasm, intelligence, dedication and persistence,” she says.

She brings professional ethics, access to justice, and civic responsibility into every course she teaches. “In my research, and in my teaching, I focus on how these abstract values can play out in the real practice of law.”

Outside the classroom, Greene finds joy in music. “I can play guitar—badly,” she adds.

Greene holds a J.D. from Washington and Lee University School of Law and a B.A. in English and Spanish from Westminster College.
