Mark Gordon, president and dean of Mitchell Hamline, is Minnesota’s Attorney of the Month in Attorney at Law Magazine’s May 2016 issue.
The cover story highlights Gordon’s efforts as leader of the newly combined law school and his work to reinvent legal education.
A passionate leader and educator, Gordon is committed to shaping tomorrow’s legal problem solvers through equality, access and opportunity. He makes it a point to forge personal connections with students. They all have his personal cell phone number, and he meets with them frequently to go out for ice cream. “A big part of my job is helping students get their jobs,” he said. “The better I know each student personally, the more effectively I can advocate for them with employers. And that’s what I love to do.”
The May issue of Attorney at Law is available online.
