Professor Leslie Culver joined the faculty at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law on July 1, 2020. Professor Culver is an experienced Professor of Legal Writing. As an avid lover of all forms of writing since her youth, Professor Culver—after years in law practice—found her calling in teaching law students to develop their legal writing, research, and oral advocacy skills through an elevated lens of identity formation. This focus on identity formation is fueled by her scholarly interest.
