Three legal scholars are poised to deepen and expand the research and teaching expertise at #UAlbertaLaw in their new positions as assistant professors. Caylee Hong, Angela Lee and Adebayo Majekolagbe bring valuable expertise to both their students and the research community at the U of A in these new roles. Hong is an anthropologist and lawyer with a focus on corporate law, bankruptcy and insolvency, infrastructure and the environment. Lee’s areas of interest and expertise include food and tech law, among others. Meanwhile, Majekolagbe has a wealth of knowledge in climate change, constitutional and international business law.
