About Me

I am an avid scholar and write on legal issues involving: employment discrimination, sports, the intersection of hip-hop culture and the law, and corporate justice, and I have published articles in several law reviews and books. Prior to joining Delaware Law School, I was the Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and a Professor of Law at the St. Thomas University Benjamin L. Crump College of Law (鈥淪TU鈥) in Miami, Florida where I worked for four years.

Before transitioning to STU, I was a tenured professor of law at North Carolina Central University School of Law where he worked for approximately 12 years. During my time at NCCU, I served as the Director of New Initiatives where I worked with external partners to cultivate partnerships between minority serving institutions. I also created and directed the Justice in the Practice of Law certificate program.

I am originally from Columbus, Ohio and am a member of Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity Incorporated. I am committed to helping to develop law students from underrepresented populations as well as promoting and facilitating wealth creation in minority communities.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my son Jordan Clark, weightlifting and watching the Ohio State Buckeyes.

  • Widener University Announces Plans to Relocate Delaware Law School Campus

    Widener President Stacey Robertson and Delaware Law Dean Todd Clark joined education and government leaders from around the state of Delaware today in announcing plans to relocate the Widener University Delaware Law School campus to the heart of the business and legal district in downtown Wilmington.

    Widener University has taken ownership of the building at 1020 North French St., once known as Bracebridge II, downtown. The university is planning significant renovations to create a beautiful, modern educational space designed to prepare our Delaware Law students for the legal careers and courtrooms of the future. 

    The current Delaware Law campus was recently listed for sale to help facilitate renovation costs. We anticipate moving into the downtown space during the 2027-28 academic year.  

    The move will put Delaware Law students, faculty and staff into the epicenter of the First State legal community, known internationally for the strength of its courts and its hub for corporate law. The new campus will be close to Lawyers Row and in walking distance of the Leonard L. Williams Justice Center, which houses state courts, the J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building, which houses federal court, and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In short, the school will be steps from the people and organizations that shape Delaware鈥檚 legal landscape.
    The move will also put Delaware Law鈥檚 legal clinics, which provide no-cost, critical legal services across the region, into the heart of Wilmington鈥檚 business district.

    鈥淭his new location will enable our clinics to reach those who need our services most, while fostering meaningful mentoring and community building partnerships with residents in disadvantaged neighborhoods,鈥 Clark said. 鈥淩elocating to downtown Wilmington will also enable Delaware Law students to engage more deeply with the surrounding community. Through clinics, externships, pro bono work, and partnerships with courts, nonprofits, and civic organizations, our students will learn by serving鈥攂uilding relationships, addressing real world legal needs, and contributing meaningfully to the life of the city.鈥

    Through this move, the Delaware Law School is playing a key role in The Bridge Project, an innovative educational ecosystem serving families and students birth through graduate school. This project is anchored by The Community Education Building on North French Street, which has served the needs of K-12 students for more than a decade by empowering families, fostering student success and supporting quality schools. Leaders there have partnered with the Longwood Foundation to extend this mission into higher education. 

    鈥淭he University of Delaware and Delaware State University have also taken on space in the Community Education Building a block from our new law building,鈥 Robertson said. 鈥淭he presidents of those institutions joined us this morning in making the announcement. We are all excited by the opportunities for collaboration.鈥
