JUNE 2006 -- Associate Prof. Robert E. Mensel
will teach torts and conflicts of laws at Charleston School
of Law starting in the fall of 2006.
"With experience in teaching history and law, Professor
Mensel is a great addition to our full-time faculty," Dean
Richard Gershon said. "As a scholar of 19th Century law,
he brings great academic credentials to Charleston and will enjoy
being a member of the area's academic community."
Most recently an associate professor of history and political
science at Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, Mensel
served as a visiting associate professor of law at Widener University
School of Law in Pennsylvania in the 2003-04 academic year. While
there, he coached a first-place winning Moot Court team. He also
has taught at Seton Hall University School of Law. Through the
years, he has served as an attorney and special counsel in private
practice.
Mensel has written several scholarly articles, the most recently
of which focused on criminal insanity in 19th Century American
Law and was published by the Oklahoma Law Review. He currently
is working on a piece about fraud and other issues in antebellum
American Law.
Mensel received a doctorate degree in American history from Rutgers
University in May 2003, and a master's from the same institution
in 1990. He received a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania
School of Law in 1982 and a bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University
in 1978.
