Provost Lisa Kloppenberg: Innovating for the Future of Law

Lisa Kloppenberg is the provost at Santa Clara. As provost, she is in charge of all academic affairs including all undergrad and graduate schools and on-campus centers.

Prior to her role as provost, Lisa served as dean of the School of Law at Santa Clara. From 2001-2011, Lisa was the dean of the law school at the University of Dayton in Ohio where she received national recognition for her lawyer-as-problem-solver curriculum.

Lisa received her Bachelors and JD from USC. After graduation, she clerked for judge Dorothy Wright Nelson of the U.S. Court of Appeals who was one of the pioneering women in the field of law.

In this conversation, we discuss how Lisa prioritizes her time to be congruent with her long-term goals, and what students can learn from alternative dispute resolution. We also touch on some larger philosophical questions around how law needs to adapt to keep pace with changes in our modern world, and how Santa Clara’s law program is helping to innovative toward a more just and fair society.
