Please join us in welcoming Robert E. Bishop, an associate professor of corporate law, to the Duke Law faculty! Bishop’s background in public service includes implementing financial mechanisms that helped strengthen financial markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bishop is an empirical scholar of the economics of corporate governance and securities law with experience in public policy, legal practice, and finance. He’s teaching Business Associations this fall, and in the spring semester Bishop will offer a new financial valuation class that will train students to build discounted cash flow, IPO, M&A, and leveraged buyout models. John M. de Figueiredo said, “Bobby Bishop brings to Duke Law School a unique combination of legal scholarship, regulatory experience, and quantitative financial skills.” Bishop said, “I’m thrilled to join the faculty. I’ve been fortunate to have professors who played a fundamental role in my life and helped me get here, and I hope to play that role with students and help them get to wherever they want to be.” Most recently Bishop was a fellow at both the New York University School of Law Institute for Corporate Governance and Finance and the Berkeley Center for Law and Business at UC Berkeley School of Law. His research interests span topics at the intersection of law and finance, including corporate governance, hedge fund activism, securities, and markets more broadly, with emphasis on the market consequences of regulatory intervention. Welcome to Duke Law, Assoc. Professor Bishop!

We’re back with another #DukeLawLife episode where we find out what students love about Durham! 😃⚖️

We're thrilled to see Duke Law's own Angela Hargrove and Ezara Doles celebrated for reaching a new milestone. We've been lucky to have them working in facility management at Duke for more than 25 years. Last week, Duke Facilities Management honored their employees with a ceremony commemorating their employees who have worked at Duke from five to 35 years. Duke Vice President for Facilities John Noonan said, “I think that kind of experience is highly valuable regardless of the field that it’s in. If you’re a housekeeper and you not only know your building, but 10 other buildings, or if you’re an electrician and you’re familiar with several buildings, the totality of that experience is great to have. And the fact that they choose to stay at Duke is tremendous for Duke.” Angela and Ezara, thank you for all the work you do!
