UNT Dallas College of Law will add four new faculty members, more than doubling the size of its full-time roster to seven lawyers.

The four new faculty members will start their employment at the downtown Dallas public institution this summer, the end of UNT law school's inaugural academic year.

“Our new faculty members will enable us to provide coverage for our expanding educational needs,” retired U.S. District Judge Royal Furgeson, the law school's dean, wrote in an emailed response to questions for this story.
