Beginning this fall, FIU Law’s Legal Skills and Values program will add Assistant Professor Dionne E. Anthon to its faculty roster. Professor Anthon was a Visiting Professor in the program last fall.
Legal Skills and Values is a three-part program that simulates “real life” legal problems. It teaches students how to recognize and address legal issues from inception through resolution.
“The Legal Skills and Values program prepares students not only for practice after law school but also for clinics, externships and other legal jobs during law school.”
Prior to joining FIU Law, Professor Anthon was an Associate Professor of Legal Methods at Widener University School of Law where she taught legal research and writing. Professor Anthon has presented teaching, assessment and technology ideas at many regional and national legal writing conferences. She earned a B.S. in Economics, cum laude, from the Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania; an M.B.A. from Georgetown University; and a J.D., cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. At Penn Law, she served as a Production Editor of the University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law and was elected to the Order of the Coif. Professor Anthon was also an Arthur Littleton and H. Clayton Louderback Legal Writing Instructor at Penn Law. After law school, Professor Anthon clerked for the Honorable Christopher C. Conner of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
“I am excited to work with and help new FIU Law students as they embark on their professional legal careers.”
