    Bio:

    Professor Rowley graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Baylor University, majoring in economics and political science. He earned an M.P.P. from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, and his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law, where he served as an executive editor of the Texas Law Review and as a judicial intern to Texas Supreme Court Justice Lloyd A. Doggett. Following a clerkship with Judge Thomas M. Reavley of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, he practiced law in Houston for five years, with an emphasis on commercial litigation at both the trial and appellate level.

    Professor Rowley joined the Boyd School of Law faculty in 2001, having taught previously at Emory University School of Law and at Mississippi College School of Law. Prior to attending law school, he taught economics and public policy at Baylor University and consulted on economic issues for a variety of public- and private-sector clients.

    Professor Rowley currently writes primarily in the areas of contracts and commercial law. He has also written extensively on state securities law. His recent articles and essays have appeared in the Baylor Law Review, Business Lawyer, University of Cincinnati Law Review, Emory Law Journal, Michigan Law Review, Mississippi Law Journal, Nevada Law Journal, Nevada Lawyer, SMU Law Review, Uniform Commercial Code Law Journal, and Willamette Law Review. He also has book reviews forthcoming in the Law & History Review and Modern Law Review. He is the author of Questions & Answers: Contracts (LexisNexis 2003), a forthcoming volume of the Revised Edition of Corbin on Contracts (LexisNexis forthcoming 2007), Questions & Answers: Sales, Leases, and Electronic Contracts (LexisNexis forthcoming 2007), and chapters for Howard O. Hunter's Modern Law of Contracts (West 3d ed. rev. forthcoming 2007), and a co-author of Global Issues in Contract Law (West forthcoming 2007) and of the 2005 and 2007 cumulative supplements to Howard O. Hunter's Modern Law of Contracts. He helped create LexisNexis's Questions & Answers series and writes supplemental teaching materials to accompany three leading undergraduate and MBA-level Business Law texts. He has also written one interactive lesson ("Anticipatory Repudiation and Assurances of Performance") for the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) and is under contract to write two more.Professor Rowley serves on the Executive Committees of the Association of American Law Schools' Section on Commercial and Related Consumer Law and Section on Contracts and is a contributing editor of the Contracts Section's ContractsProf Blog. Professor Rowley also serves as co-chair of the American Bar Association Uniform Commercial Code Committee's Subcommittee on Sales, where his duties include programming for the Business Law Section's Spring Meeting and the ABA's Annual Meeting and contributing to the annual Uniform Commercial Code Survey published by The Business Lawyer.

    During the 2005 legislative session, Professor Rowley advised the Nevada Senate Judiciary Committee regarding proposals to revise Nevada's Uniform Commercial Code. He also assisted with efforts in Connecticut and Montana to amend those states' versions of Revised Article 1. His periodic legislative updates on UCC Revised Article 1 and the 2003 amendments to UCC Articles 2 and 2A and annotated UCC Article 9 case updates provide additional service to the practicing and academic bars and the broader legal community.

    Professor Rowley hosts the Law and Popular Culture Film Series, which he inaugurated in October 2003, maintains the law school's Faculty Publications list, and periodically publishes the BSL Faculty News, which he launched in October 2002.
