Sheila Reynolds
Professor of Law
"I love the challenge of teaching Professional Responsibility, in which students are introduced to the ethical values and standards of the legal profession. My goals are to help students learn what it means to be a legal professional, to appreciate how valuable lawyers are in a country that values the rule of law, and to serve their clients in the most ethical manner possible."
J.D., University of Kansas, 1971
