Resident Deans Renee Granville Grossman Residential Commons – West
Saul Levmore and Julie Roin have been appointed the new Resident Deans of Renee Granville Grossman Residential Commons West, beginning in the 2021-2022 academic year.
The new resident deans of Renee West work right next door at the Law School. Professor Roin is the Seymour Logan Professor and a specialist in Tax Law as well as State and Local Government Law. She grew up in the Chicago suburbs before heading off to Harvard and then Yale Law School, where she met her fellow Resident Dean. She loves theater, skiing, and talking about politics with students, especially because the couple’s two sons are now out of the house.
Professor Levmore is a Distinguished Service Professor and previous Dean of the Law School. Saul and Julie taught at the University of Virginia before coming to Chicago. He has just finished a term as the President of the American Law and Economics Association and is known for his love of teaching, his taking students to breakfast at Medici on 57th Street, his past life as a runner and squash player, and now his golf game.
