Hannah Wiseman is a Visiting Assistant Professor with the Emerging Scholars Program at the University of Texas School of Law. After she graduated from Dartmouth College in 2002, she worked as an environmental consultant in Washington, D.C. Professor Wiseman graduated from Yale Law School in 2007 and then clerked for Judge Higginbotham on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Professor Wiseman's primary research interests lie in the intersection of Property, Land Use, Environmental Law, and Energy Law. She believes that these fields will increasingly overlap because the need to balance competing resource demands is inherently bound up in decisions about human uses of property. She has published a student note in the Yale Law Journal; a short piece in the Yale Law Journal Pocket Part; and articles in the Tulane Environmental Law Journal, the Fordham Environmental Law Review, and the South Carolina Law Review. Her current work in progress, forthcoming in the Georgetown Law Journal in 2010, identifies new types of community rules that define built environments. It suggests that these rules are innovative and important, but the procedures used to implement, enforce, and modify the rules must change substantially to accommodate residents' community preferences.
