THE MIAMI HURRICANE — Two University of Miami School of Law professors have been appointed to serve the Biden administration. Professor Caroline Bettinger-Lopez and Professor John Mark Newman will serve as leaders in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Newman will be working as the deputy director of the Bureau of Competition at the FTC. In his role, Newman will be responsible for upholding antitrust laws which constitute the foundation of our competitive free-market. “Professor Newman is a leading legal scholar in the field of antitrust law, and I very much enjoyed studying under him last semester,” said first-year UM School of Law student Randy Fitzgerald. “Our discussions in office hours were riveting.” Bettinger-Lopez will be moving into her position as the senior advisor on gender and equality for the U.S. DOJ. As senior advisor, Bettinger-Lopez will work to craft and execute a National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence alongside other bodies within the DOJ. Bettinger-Lopez is familiar with the White House. She had worked alongside then-Vice President Joe Biden as the White House Senior Advisor on Violence Against Women under the Obama administration.
