This Day in Arkansas History
April 27, 2000
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Law was named for William H. Bowen, chief of staff to Governor Bill Clinton from 1991 to 1992 and dean of the law school from 1995 to 1997. In the summer of 1992, the law school was relocated to a new building, where it remains. President Bill Clinton spoke at the dedication. One advantage of the law school’s location in the capital city is the robust pool of attorneys and judges from which its numerous adjunct professors are hired.
