Bio:

Professor Henning joined the Faculty in 1994 as an Associate Professor, and was promoted to Professor of Law in 2002. He graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 1985, where he served as a Notes and Comments Editor on the Georgetown Law Journal. After graduation, he taught in the College of Business Administration at Loyola Marymount University, and then clerked for Chief Judge Murray M. Schwartz of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. After clerking, Professor Henning was a Senior Attorney in the Division of Enforcement at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission until 1991, where he worked on cases involving insider trading, penny stock fraud, market manipulation, and accounting irregularities. He then moved to the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where he worked in the Fraud Section on the investigation and prosecution of bank fraud.During this time he also published articles in the Kansas Law Review, St. Louis University Law Journal, and American Criminal Law Review.

Professor Henning teaches courses in Corporations, White Collar Crime, Professional Responsibility & the Legal Profession, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Securities Litigation. He taught previously at the high school and university undergraduate levels. Professor Henning has received a number of teaching awards, including the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, whose recipients are selected from among the entire Wayne State University faculty, and the Donald H. Gordon Teaching Award that is presented by the alumni of the Law School.

Professor Henning’s scholarship focuses primarily on white collar crime, constitutional criminal procedure, and attorney ethics. Recent articles examining the role of federalism in the interpretation of federal criminal law were published in the Kentucky Law Journal and the Missouri Law Review. He has also published articles on the mail fraud statute, prosecutorial misconduct, Fifth Amendment rights of witnesses before a grand jury, and defense discovery in white collar crime prosecutions. His articles have appeared in the Boston College Law Review, Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, Washington University Law Quarterly, South Carolina Law Review, and Nebraska Law Review. He is a co-author of the casebook White Collar Crime: Law and Practice (2d ed. 2003), with Professor Jerold Israel, Professor Ellen Podgor, and United States District Judge Paul Borman.Professor Henning recently became a co-author of the Criminal volumes of the late Professor Charles Alan Wright’s Federal Practice and Procedure treatise, which is among the most cited reference works in judicial opinions on issues related to federal rules and practice.

Professor Henning is an elected member of the American Law Institute, and treasurer of the American National Section of the International Association of Penal Law. He has been quoted frequently in newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press, Detroit News, and the Wall Street Journal, and has appeared on local radio and television programs to comment on legal issues. He speaks before local professional organizations such as the Young Entrepreneurs Organization and the Risk Managers Society, and has presented papers at conferences held at Georgia State University, the University of Buffalo, and American University. He is a neutral arbitrator through the NASD Dispute Resolution’s arbitration program to resolve customer and broker claims involving securities.

Professor Henning and his wife Karen have three daughters: Molly, Alexandra, and Grace.
