The School of Law’s 2010-2011 Faculty Lecture Series begins on Wednesday, September 1 with UM Law Professor Stephen Urice, who will present “Unveiling the Executive Branch’s Extralegal Cultural Property Policy.” The lecture, which will take place in the law school’s fourth-floor faculty meeting room, will begin at 12:35 p.m., following a lunch at noon in the same room. A question-and-answer session will follow the lecture.

An expert on art law, museum law, and cultural heritage law, Urice lectures nationally and internationally and has served on the faculty and planning committee of the ALI-ABA course of study Legal Issues in Museum Administration for many years. He has published numerous scholarly articles and co-authored the fifth edition of the standard art law casebook, Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts (Kluwer, 2007).

Prior to coming to Miami Law in 2006, Urice taught for three years at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law in a grant-funded position. Previously, in addition to practicing law, Urice served as a foundation officer at the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, and as director of Philadelphia’s Rosenbach Museum and Library. He earned a Ph.D. in archeology and his J.D. at Harvard University.
