 CUNY School of Law names Vince Warren the W. Haywood Burns Chair for 2023The City University of New York School of Law will welcome our Executive Director Vince Warren as the 2023 W. Haywood Burns Chair in Human and Civil Rights. The Burns Chair honors W. Haywood Burns, a people’s lawyer, professor, and civil rights activist who served as the second dean of CUNY School of Law, from 1987 to 1994. Haywood was the first Black dean of a law school in New York State; in that role he helped bring to fruition a new model of legal education whose central purpose was to train lawyers dedicated to the public good. Vince will join CUNY Law in 2023 as a thought leader, teacher, and mentor. As Burns Chair, a visiting faculty position, he will facilitate discussion and debate in student sessions and public forums; teach a seminar; and direct research undertaken by students at the law school who have been named W. Haywood Burns Fellows. In his teaching and public presentations, Vince will explore social movement lawyering, addressing the role that lawyers, activists, journalists, and artists play in mobilizing movements that advance racial, economic, and social justice.
