The Cannabis Policy Institute and William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV, including Director Riana Durrett (UNLV Cannabis Policy Institute), were proud to welcome national cannabis law figure, Robert Mikos to the school as a visiting scholar on February 9.

Mikos, whose research interests include federalism, constitutional law, drug law and policy, and marijuana law and policy, has focused his most recent scholarship on analysis of the struggle among federal, state and local governments for control of marijuana law and policy, which includes the Marijuana Law, Policy and Authority (Wolters Kluwer, 2017) casebook.

The Vanderbilt University Law School LaRoche Family Chair in Law presented at a faculty workshop in the morning of February 9 and was also available to meet with faculty and students for cannabis policy and law discussion.
