The University of Houston has named Leonard Baynes as the next dean of its Law Center.
Baynes is a professor who now leads the Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights and Economic Development at St. John’s University School of Law. A well-known advocate of diversity in legal education and the profession, he founded a summer program at St. John’s that since 2005 has helped minority-group undergraduates prepare to take the Law School Admission Test and with other aspects of the law school application process.
