Dean Russell announced recently that two new faculty members have accepted
offers to join The University of Montana School of Law faculty: Professor Hillary

Gross clerked for Hon. Susan R. Agid, Washington State Court of Appeals,
and for Hon. Barbara Jacobs Rothstein, United States District Court,
Western District of Washington–Seattle. Gross received her BA from
the University of Washington in 1989 and her JD from Howard University
School of Law (cum laude) in 1993. |
 Professor
Hillary Wandler has taught at The University of Montana School of Law
for two years as the Legal Writing Fellow. She will begin
a tenure-track position in the fall of 2010 to teach Legal Writing and
coordinate the Academic Support Program. Wandler received her BA
from Concordia College (cum laude) in 1999 and her JD from The
University of Montana School of Law (with high honors) in 2004. She clerked
for Hon. Donald W. Molloy, United States District Court, District of
Montana, for Hon. James R. Browning, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
and was a legal intern for Hon. Sam E. Haddon, United States District

several innovative ideas including an Academic Success blog and a multi-sensory
Adobe Captivate project that aided first year students in effective case
reading strategies. Wandler also designed and taught the School's first
Veterans Law Course in the summer of 2009 to a mix of law students and
attorneys. The course was approved for Montana CLE credit and was in
compliance with Veteran's Administration accreditation requirements.
