Professor Marie Failinger
Join us on Feb. 21 as we celebrate Professor Marie Failinger’s retirement with a CLE and reception. Failinger, 70, said she still plans to be involved with the law school, but she’ll no longer teach full time because of her health. She’s retiring after nearly 40 years with Hamline University School of Law and Mitchell Hamline School of Law.
The CLE will be presented by Professor Daniel Sinclair, who will provide a contemporary exploration of different models of how the law interacts with religion:
