Leadership Transition at Regent University School of Law

We are grateful for the faithful service of Dean Brad Lingo, who will be stepping down from his role as Dean of the School of Law this 2025 Academic Year. Dean Lingo’s leadership has made a lasting impact on the law school and the lives of many students and faculty members.  As we look toward the future, Regent University is now accepting applications for the next Dean of the School of Law.

Please join us in thanking Dean Lingo for his dedication and in prayerfully supporting the search for his successor.

Success Story

Julianne Fleischer, Regent Law school alumna.

“Regent Law offered not only every MBE subject as a course, but also state-specific courses that allowed me to learn the nuances of California law. Despite the normal nerves of facing the bar exam, I knew Regent had equipped me!“
