Bowen School Welcomes New Professor

Nicholas Kahn-Fogel – a veteran of the Peace Corps, the Innocence Project, and since 2006 a professor of torts, intellectual property, and constitutional law at the University of Zambia – has joined UALR’s William H. Bowen School of Law for the 2008-2009 academic year. A graduate of Stanford University’s law school, Kahn-Fogel’s article, “Beyond Manson and Lukolongo: A Critique of American and Zambian Eyewitness Law with Recommendations for Reform in the Developing World” will soon be published in the “Florida Journal of International Law.” At Stanford, Kahn-Fogel was a member of the “Stanford Law and Policy Review,” the Stanford Public Interest Law Foundation committee co-chair, and a student volunteer at the East Palo Alto Community Law Project. He earned a bachelor’s degree in history with distinction in all subjects from Cornell University in 1999. Before enrolling at Stanford, he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Niger in West Africa working on farming and small-business development. In Niamey, Niger’s capital, he formulated and implemented a project that set up wheelchair-bound polio victims as mobile vendors. After law school, he worked with the Innocence Project in New York and with the law firm of Millberg Weiss Bershad & Shulman.
