From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Mengler, an expert in procedure and complex litigation, is dean of the law school at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota). Mengler received a BA from Carleton College, a master's in Philosophy from The University of Texas at Austin and his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Texas School of Law.
