Dean Anderson's scholarship focuses on securities enforcement, white-collar crime, and intersections of law and philosophy (e.g., business ethics, constitutionalism, problems of pluralism, and human rights). His recent articles address the law and ethics of insider trading, the problem of how to build a just and enduring constitutional order in the face of increasing religious and cultural pluralism, and the theoretical underpinnings of our international human rights regime. He has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Law & Philosophy, Journal of Law and Religion, and Contemporary Pragmatism) and in top law journals (most recently in the Georgetown Law Journal Online, Journal of Corporation Law, Virginia Law & Business Review, Washington University Journal of Law & Policy, Temple Law Review, Utah Law Review, and University of Miami Law Review). Professor Anderson recently published a book with Cambridge University Press, Insider Trading: Law Ethics and Reform. He is a frequent contributor to the Columbia Law School Blue Sky Blog, and an editor of the Business Law Professor Blog. Professor Anderson teaches Business Associations, Contracts, Constitutional Law, Comparative Constitutional Law, Evidence, International Human Rights, Jurisprudence, Securities Regulation, and White Collar Crime. He has won numerous teaching awards and was most recently voted Law School Professor of the Year for 2021-2022, and Mississippi College Distinguished Professor of the Year for 2018-2019.<\/p>\r\n", "cv": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/application\/files\/3517\/2286\/1854\/Anderson_CV-7-3-2024.pdf", "academia": "https:\/\/mc.academia.edu\/JohnPAnderson", "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": "http:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/cf_dev\/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1898751", "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/jpanders", "degrees": [ "J.D., University of Virginia School of Law \r", "Ph.D., Philosophy, University of Virginia \r", "M.A., Philosophy, University of Virginia \r", "B.A., Philosophy, University of California at Berkeley" ], "expertise": [ "Business Associations", "Constitutional Law", "Contracts", "Comparative Constitutional Law", "Evidence", "Human Rights", "Insider Trading Law", "Jurisprudence & Philosophy of Law", "Securities Enforcement", "White Collar Criminal Law" ] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "antizzo", "first_name": "Glenn", "last_name": "Antizzo", "title": "Professor", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "History and Political Science", "secondary_department": "", "secondary_title": "", "email": "antizzo@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.3973", "office": "Jennings Hall 201", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/173.jpg", "bio": "Dr. Glenn J.

Professor Escajeda previously practiced tax and employee benefits law in Colorado for more than twenty years and served as an adjunct professor for the University of Denver Graduate Tax Program. Professor Escajeda has published in numerous practitioner and academic journals.

Professor Caroline Smith joined the faculty at Mississippi College School of Law in 2024 after working as a commercial litigator at Butler Snow. While at Butler Snow, she represented plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts at all stages of litigation, from preparation of the complaint to jury verdict and on appeal. Notably, while there, she worked on a team that successfully defeated a motion for a temporary restraining order that would have stopped the client's $7.5 billion dollar transaction, and in another matter, she secured partial summary judgment on the contractors' statute-of-repose affirmative defenses in a multi-million dollar construction dispute, arguing that the statute of repose would be unconstitutional as applied to the state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Before private practice, Professor Smith clerked for the Honorable Leslie H. Southwick of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Professor Smith's scholarship focuses on procedural issues in state and federal courts, including most recently an article discussing the certification of questions from the Fifth Circuit to the Mississippi Supreme Court. Professor Smith is also interested in the study of writing, having taught the subject to high school students, undergraduate students, and law students.<\/p>\r\n", "cv": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/application\/files\/1017\/4542\/8281\/CBS_CV.pdf", "academia": null, "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": null, "expertise": null, "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/cbsmith", "degrees": [] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "Song00", "first_name": "Lingshan", "last_name": "Song", "title": "Writing Center Director", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "", "secondary_department": "", "secondary_title": "", "email": "song00@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.3268", "office": "Library 126 & Jennings 311", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/229.jpg", "bio": "", "academia": null, "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": null, "expertise": null, "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/Song00", "degrees": [ { "udID": "922", "uID": "229", "degree": "B.A.", "institution": "Mississippi College" }, { "udID": "923", "uID": "229", "degree": "M.A.", "institution": "Mississippi College" } ] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "bspiller", "first_name": "Braden", "last_name": "Spiller", "title": "Instructor", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "Engineering, Computer Science, and Physics", "secondary_department": "", "secondary_title": "", "email": "bspiller@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.7794", "office": "MCC 305", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/506.jpg", "bio": "", "academia": null, "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": null, "expertise": null, "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/bspiller", "degrees": [] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "jfstafford", "first_name": "Jennifer", "last_name": "Stafford", "title": "Professor", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "Teacher Education and Leadership", "secondary_department": null, "secondary_title": null, "email": "jfstafford@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.3304", "office": "Lowrey 400B", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/253.jpg", "bio": "

Dean Anderson's scholarship focuses on securities enforcement, white-collar crime, and intersections of law and philosophy (e.g., business ethics, constitutionalism, problems of pluralism, and human rights). His recent articles address the law and ethics of insider trading, the problem of how to build a just and enduring constitutional order in the face of increasing religious and cultural pluralism, and the theoretical underpinnings of our international human rights regime. He has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Law & Philosophy, Journal of Law and Religion, and Contemporary Pragmatism) and in top law journals (most recently in the Georgetown Law Journal Online, Journal of Corporation Law, Virginia Law & Business Review, Washington University Journal of Law & Policy, Temple Law Review, Utah Law Review, and University of Miami Law Review). Professor Anderson recently published a book with Cambridge University Press, Insider Trading: Law Ethics and Reform. He is a frequent contributor to the Columbia Law School Blue Sky Blog, and an editor of the Business Law Professor Blog. Professor Anderson teaches Business Associations, Contracts, Constitutional Law, Comparative Constitutional Law, Evidence, International Human Rights, Jurisprudence, Securities Regulation, and White Collar Crime. He has won numerous teaching awards and was most recently voted Law School Professor of the Year for 2021-2022, and Mississippi College Distinguished Professor of the Year for 2018-2019.<\/p>\r\n", "cv": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/application\/files\/3517\/2286\/1854\/Anderson_CV-7-3-2024.pdf", "academia": "https:\/\/mc.academia.edu\/JohnPAnderson", "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": "http:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/cf_dev\/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1898751", "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/jpanders", "degrees": [ "J.D., University of Virginia School of Law \r", "Ph.D., Philosophy, University of Virginia \r", "M.A., Philosophy, University of Virginia \r", "B.A., Philosophy, University of California at Berkeley" ], "expertise": [ "Business Associations", "Constitutional Law", "Contracts", "Comparative Constitutional Law", "Evidence", "Human Rights", "Insider Trading Law", "Jurisprudence & Philosophy of Law", "Securities Enforcement", "White Collar Criminal Law" ] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "antizzo", "first_name": "Glenn", "last_name": "Antizzo", "title": "Professor", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "History and Political Science", "secondary_department": "", "secondary_title": "", "email": "antizzo@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.3973", "office": "Jennings Hall 201", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/173.jpg", "bio": "Dr. Glenn J.

Professor Escajeda previously practiced tax and employee benefits law in Colorado for more than twenty years and served as an adjunct professor for the University of Denver Graduate Tax Program. Professor Escajeda has published in numerous practitioner and academic journals.

Professor Caroline Smith joined the faculty at Mississippi College School of Law in 2024 after working as a commercial litigator at Butler Snow. While at Butler Snow, she represented plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts at all stages of litigation, from preparation of the complaint to jury verdict and on appeal. Notably, while there, she worked on a team that successfully defeated a motion for a temporary restraining order that would have stopped the client's $7.5 billion dollar transaction, and in another matter, she secured partial summary judgment on the contractors' statute-of-repose affirmative defenses in a multi-million dollar construction dispute, arguing that the statute of repose would be unconstitutional as applied to the state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Before private practice, Professor Smith clerked for the Honorable Leslie H. Southwick of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Professor Smith's scholarship focuses on procedural issues in state and federal courts, including most recently an article discussing the certification of questions from the Fifth Circuit to the Mississippi Supreme Court. Professor Smith is also interested in the study of writing, having taught the subject to high school students, undergraduate students, and law students.<\/p>\r\n", "cv": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/application\/files\/1017\/4542\/8281\/CBS_CV.pdf", "academia": null, "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": null, "expertise": null, "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/cbsmith", "degrees": [] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "Song00", "first_name": "Lingshan", "last_name": "Song", "title": "Writing Center Director", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "", "secondary_department": "", "secondary_title": "", "email": "song00@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.3268", "office": "Library 126 & Jennings 311", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/229.jpg", "bio": "", "academia": null, "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": null, "expertise": null, "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/Song00", "degrees": [ { "udID": "922", "uID": "229", "degree": "B.A.", "institution": "Mississippi College" }, { "udID": "923", "uID": "229", "degree": "M.A.", "institution": "Mississippi College" } ] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "bspiller", "first_name": "Braden", "last_name": "Spiller", "title": "Instructor", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "Engineering, Computer Science, and Physics", "secondary_department": "", "secondary_title": "", "email": "bspiller@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.7794", "office": "MCC 305", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/506.jpg", "bio": "", "academia": null, "researchgate": null, "ssrnp": null, "expertise": null, "homepage": "https:\/\/www.mc.edu\/faculty\/u\/bspiller", "degrees": [] }, { "hide_from_directory_listing": null, "username": "jfstafford", "first_name": "Jennifer", "last_name": "Stafford", "title": "Professor", "degree_suffix": null, "department": "Teacher Education and Leadership", "secondary_department": null, "secondary_title": null, "email": "jfstafford@mc.edu", "phone": "601.925.3304", "office": "Lowrey 400B", "avatar": "https:\/\/mississippicollege-1ba9f.kxcdn.com\/faculty\/application\/files\/avatars\/253.jpg", "bio": "
