Immigration and Refugee Scholar Named Dean at University of Toledo College of Law

 
Daniel J. Steinbock, who has been leading the University of Toledo College of Law on an interim basis for the last year, has been selected to serve permanently as dean, UT officials announced June 6.

Prior to becoming dean, Steinbock served as Harold A. Anderson Professor of Law and Values at the University of Toledo College of Law.   He received his undergraduate and law degrees from Yale.   

Steinbock previously served as education coordinator in Cambodian refugee camps in Thailand for the International Rescue Committee and is co-author of Unaccompanied Children: Care and Protection in Wars, Natural Disasters and Refugee Movements (Oxford University Press, 1987). He also has written law review articles and book chapters about refugee children, refugee law, search and seizure, identity documentation, and data mining.

One of my favorite articles by Dean Steinbock is Refuge and Resistance: Casablanca’s Lessons for Refugee Law, 7 Georgetown Immigration L.J. 649 (1993), which reviews and analyzes the immigration and refugee themes in the classic Humphrey Bogart film Casablanca.  Check it out!
