Beginning July 1, Suzanne Reynolds will be the new dean of Wake Forest University School of Law after serving as the interim dean for the past academic year.
Reynolds joined the Wake Forest faculty in 1981 as an expert in family law after practicing civil ligitation for four years at Smith, Moore, Smith, Schell & Hunter. In 1993 she published her defining work, Lee’s North Carolina Family Law, a three-volume treatise viewed as an authoritative source on the subject. She was involved in the drafting of statutes to modernize laws concerning both alimony and adoption, and later co-founded a program addressing domestic violence.
