Neil Rees


Contested prod. Law professor who has served as Dean of Law in his department at the University of Newcastle, Australia which is not (as far as I can tell) recognized as a leader in the field. Probably a fine individual but no indication that he comes close to meeting WP:PROF and there does not seem to be any reliable third-party sources discussing his achievements.

 * Comment. I am puzzled by this person. Usually one would expect to see many publications by a dean or ex-dean of a law school. I would normally expect that a university would choose someone who was already notable for a dean's position. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:19, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Not necessarily, the important qualities of a good dean are experience with the university processes. Pascal.Tesson 11:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
