Welcome, Carolina Law students!
As you plan your course selections for the fall semester, we invite you to learn more about our newest faculty members below. Each brings unique specializations and teaching approaches that may align with your academic and career interests.
Daniel Rice
Daniel Rice is slated to join UNC’s faculty in the fall as an Assistant Professor of Law. His research focuses primarily on the fields of constitutional law and federal Indian law. Rice’s recent scholarship explores the interaction between cultural and legal change, the interpretive significance of moral outrage, and the relationship between memory and legal tradition. His work has appeared (or will appear) in leading journals, including the Michigan Law Review, Virginia Law Review, California Law Review, Minnesota Law Review, and Washington University Law Review.
Prior to joining UNC’s faculty, Rice taught at the University of Arkansas School of Law. He clerked for Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, as well as Judge Christopher Cooper of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Rice also worked as a public-interest lawyer at the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at the Georgetown University Law Center. He graduated first in his class from the Duke University School of Law and is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
Rice will be teaching Federal Indian Law and First Amendment in the fall and Constitutional Law in the spring.
Noah Marks
Noah Marks is thrilled to be joining Carolina Law this summer. His teaching and research interests include taxation, statutory interpretation, administrative law, and torts. His current research examines how taxpayers and practitioners bridge the gap between the statutory text, on the one hand, and their transactions and situations on the other. In particular, he examines administrative materials that, though not formal law, assign meaning to codified law, and he investigates the impact of various judge-made doctrines that apply alongside codified law. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Boston College Law Review, the Lewis & Clark Law Review, the Journal of the American Taxation Association, and the Harvard Law & Policy Review.
Currently, Marks serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Duke University School of Law. Before joining Duke Law, Marks practiced law in New York as an associate in the tax department at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP in New York for four years, providing tax counsel in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private investment funds, capital markets transactions and restructurings. Noah also previously worked in the Office of the General Counsel at the Open Society Foundations, assisting with tax compliance, and clerked for the Honorable Kim McLane Wardlaw of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Honorable Cormac J. Carney of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Marks received his LL.M. in Taxation for NYU School of Law (2023) and his J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School, where he served as Editor in Chief of the Harvard Law & Policy Review (2016). Before law school, he received an M.A. in The Hebrew Bible and Its Interpretation from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and a B.S. in Engineering and a B.A. in Religion from Swarthmore College, where he was awarded the Jesse H. Holmes Prize in Religion and the McCabe Engineering Award.
Marks will be teaching Torts in the fall and Corporate Taxation in the spring.
Mark Storslee
Mark Storslee will be an Associate Professor at Carolina Law beginning this fall. He teaches courses in constitutional law, civil procedure, and federal courts. His research focuses primarily on the First Amendment’s protections for religion and speech, and the relationship between the Constitution and American legal history generally. He has published in numerous journals, including the University of Chicago Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and the University of Virginia Law Review. Professor Storslee is also an award-winning teacher and is passionate about working with students, both in large groups and one-on-one.
Storslee holds a JD from Stanford Law School and a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Virginia. After law school, Storslee clerked for Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain on the United States Court of Appeals, and later for Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch on the United States Supreme Court. Besides holding previous academic appointments, Storslee also worked as an appellate litigator at Williams & Connolly LLP. In his free time, Professor Storslee enjoys running (slowly), watching college basketball, and listening to the Grateful Dead.
Next academic year, Professor Storslee is teaching Civil Procedure in the fall and Church and State in the spring.
Marcus Gadson
Marcus Gadson joins the faculty from Campbell University, where he won Professor of the Year three times in a row. He is one of the nation’s leading authorities on state constitutions and has published articles in top journals like the NYU Law Review, Michigan Law Review, and Georgetown Law Journal. He is also the author of Sedition: How America’s Constitutional Order Emerged From Violent Crisis, which argues that constitutional crisis has been a constant in American history and explains how that history affects Americans today.
Professor Gadson offers courses in Civil Procedure, State Constitutional Law, and North Carolina Constitutional Law.
Eric Fisher
Eric Fisher is a 2020 Carolina Law graduate who will join the faculty as an assistant clinical professor, teaching in the Research, Reasoning, Writing, and Advocacy (RRWA) program. Before law school, Fisher worked for fourteen years in K-12 and higher education settings, and he is looking forward to returning to the classroom. In his time outside of work, he enjoys coaching youth sports, meditating, and eating pizza with his family.
Currently, Fisher is a corporate associate at Smith Anderson in Raleigh where he works primarily on mergers and acquisitions representing private equity and financial institutions. Fisher graduated from Carolina Law in 2020 where he served as an Honors Writing Scholar and as the Editor in Chief of the North Carolina Law Review. He was the 2020 recipient of the Winston Crisp Leadership Award given by the law school’s Student Bar Association. In addition, Fisher interned for the Honorable James Wynn of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and clerked for the Honorable Loretta Biggs in the Middle District of North Carolina.
