(Dec. 6) – Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law announced this month that Professor Jenia Iontcheva Turner has been appointed the Amy Abboud Ware Centennial Professor in Criminal Law for her contributions as a teacher and scholar in the field of criminal justice.
Turner, a Yale Law School graduate, joined SMU Dedman School of Law in 2004 after serving as a Bigelow Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School.
“Amy Abboud Ware’s many accomplishments in the field of criminal law make this professorship in her name all the more fitting,” Turner said in a statement. “I will do my best to see that the Wares’ generosity pays dividends in the form of a more vibrant intellectual community for our faculty and students.”
