Biographical / Historical
When Hardy Dillard retired from the deanship, he highly recommended Paulsen to succeed him. The first dean who had not previously been a member of the Virginia law faculty, Paulsen served in that post until 1975, and in that time attracted many fine scholars to the faculty. During his deanship, the student population grew by two hundred as the 1970s saw increasing numbers of women and minority students. The growth in the faculty and student body, along with curriculum changes and new organizations, pushed Clark Hall to its limits. Near the end of Paulsen’s deanship, the Law School building at North Grounds was constructed and occupied.
In 1975, Paulsen went to New York to help establish and serve as dean of the Cardozo Law School at Yeshiva University. These professional papers were left behind in the dean’s office when Paulsen moved to New York. Monrad Paulsen died in 1980.
