CLINICAL PROFESSOR CARL WARREN RETIRES
Professor Carl Warren, a fervent defender of human and civil rights, will retire at the end of the 2025–26 academic year after a distinctive career as an impactful lawyer and educator. For the past decade, Warren has led the University of St. Thomas School of Law’s Community Justice Project (CJP) clinic, where he has guided students in using legal advocacy to address social justice issues. Under his leadership, students have worked on initiatives ranging from police practices and reforms to disparities in education and the criminal justice system. Warren emphasized experiential learning, encouraging students to see their ability to effect change even before graduating. Colleagues describe Warren as a thoughtful and deeply committed teacher and mentor. His influence extends beyond the classroom through his leadership within various legal organizations, and his personal service to his community. Before joining St. Thomas, Warren spent more than two decades as a clinical faculty member at the University of Minnesota Law School and served as a trial attorney in the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, focusing on human rights. Warren’s legacy lives on through the many students he has inspired to pursue careers dedicated to justice and community impact.
Best wishes for your retirement, Professor Warren!
