After a national search, Provost Mike Ibba announced Antony Page as the next dean of the Dale E. Fowler School of Law.
Page most recently served as dean of the Florida International University College of Law in Miami and is an internationally recognized scholar on corporate law and social enterprise.
“Antony’s global perspective and accomplishments as a leader and academic have uniquely prepared him to lead the world-class Fowler School of Law,” Ibba said. “His track record of helping students become practice-ready and prepared for the complexities of the law today make him the perfect fit for Chapman.”
Under Page’s leadership, FIU Law climbed more than 20 spots in the national rankings, while achieving improved employment outcomes and record-breaking fundraising. He also broadened FIU Law’s curricular reach, expanding the environmental law program while enhancing scholarly impact and publication. His support for student wellbeing led to a wellness program that was recognized with the 2021 Gambrell Professionalism Award by the ABA Standing Committee on Professionalism.
Prior to FIU, Page was vice dean at the Indiana University McKinney School of Law where he built his academic career, earned tenure, and was frequently recognized for his work in the classroom. As co-principal investigator, he co-created a Pathway to the Law pipeline program to increase student success, supported by a $250,000 grant from the American Bar Association. Before earning his juris doctor and entering law and the academy, Antony served as a diplomat in Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs.
Page began his legal career by clerking for Judge H. Hupp in the Central District of CA, and Judge A. Alarcon on the U.S. Court of Appeals before moving on to international private practice in London and L.A. offices of Sullivan & Cromwell. His scholarly works have been published in high-impact journals cited by more than 25 courts, including the United States Supreme Court. The Connecticut Supreme Court described one of his publications as a “landmark article.”
Page holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University, where he majored in psychology; an MBA from Simon Fraser University; and a JD from Stanford University, where he was elected to the Order of the Coif, graduating in the top 10% of his class.
Tom Turk, interim dean of Argyros College of Business and Economics, chaired the search committee. “The committee was immediately impressed by Antony’s record of excellence in the classroom and supporting student success,” he said. “This aligns with Chapman’s approach to personalized education.”
Page will join campus for the fall semester.
