The UConn School of Law is proud to welcome two new faculty members whose professional experience and scholarly insight will bring fresh perspectives on emerging areas of legal practice.<\/p>\n

\"Maynard
Maynard P. Goldburn, Jr.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Goldburn P. Maynard Jr., professor of law, joins UConn Law from Indiana University\u2019s Kelley School of Business, where he taught business ethics. Maynard brings more than 13 years of academic experience, along with prior roles as an estate tax attorney for the IRS and a tax associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. His background provides a deep understanding of tax law and policy, particularly in the areas of trusts and estates, estate and gift taxation, elder law, and federal income taxation.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally, my scholarship focuses on tax policy and inequality,\u201d Maynard explains. \u201cI cared about civil rights, and over time I came to very much care about the tax system, and a lot of my concern is how it furthers equality or inequality and the ways we can get it to promote equality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Returning to a law school setting is especially meaningful for Maynard. \u201cThere\u2019s something about teaching those who are entering your profession,\u201d he says. \u201cIt feels like I\u2019m giving back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maynard\u2019s work has appeared in leading journals including the California Law Review, Minnesota Law Review, and Yale Law Journal Forum, and he recently co-authored \u201cPenalizing Precarity\u201d in the Michigan Law Review.<\/p>\n

\"Matthew
Matthew Lowe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Matthew Lowe, visiting professor from practice, serves as director and in-house counsel for Kyndryl, a leading IT infrastructure services provider. Lowe brings a multidisciplinary approach to legal education, shaped by his experience at Kyndryl and IBM before that, as well as teaching roles at Cornell and UMass Amherst.<\/p>\n

At UConn Law, Lowe will teach courses in AI ethics and cybersecurity law and hopes to serve as a mentor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to teach in a way I wish I had been taught,\u201d he says. \u201cIt’s a great opportunity to be in this role, to teach about these interesting areas of technology. I also want to have an open door for students to learn more about this space and where they potentially can add value. Just knowing that these paths exist can be transformative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond his legal and teaching work, Lowe contributes to the field through publications in academic journals and professional magazines, media appearances, and speaking engagements. Most recently, his article, \u201cThe American Approach to Regulating Artificial Intelligence,\u201d was published in one of Germany\u2019s leading law journals, Recht Digital (RDi).<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, Professors Maynard and Lowe bring cutting-edge expertise and a shared commitment to student success,\u201d says Dean Eboni S. Nelson. \u201cTheir presence strengthens UConn Law\u2019s curriculum and scholarly impact and allows students to engage with timely, complex legal issues, from technology to tax justice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
