MICHAEL F. BARRY Dean


American University Washington College of Law is a place defined not only by academic excellence, but also by purpose, community, and impact.


THE ADVOCATE FALL 2026


From my first meetings at AUWCL, I have been inspired by the depth of commitment I see across this institution, from faculty, staff, students and you, our alumni around the world.


This issue of The Advocate reflects that spirit. It highlights a community deeply engaged in advancing justice, solving complex problems and leading across every sector of the legal profession. Whether in courtrooms or at the negotiating table, in classrooms or boardrooms, in businesses or nonprofits, at government agencies or international organizations, our alumni continue to shape conversations and institutions that matter.
