Professor Timothy Mulvaney became a member of the faculty of Texas Wesleyan
University School of Law in 2009. His scholarship explores the many conflicts at
the intersection of property, land use, and environmental law, with a particular
focus on constitutional takings jurisprudence and the public trust doctrine. As
noted below, Professor Mulvaney has published articles on these topics in the
primary or secondary law journals of Yale University, U.C. Berkeley, Tulane
University, U.C. Davis, Baylor University, the University of Richmond, and
Florida State University. He previously served as a co-principal investigator on
a team that was awarded a federal grant to conduct a two-year cooperative
research project on regulatory takings, environmental law and land use issues
related to natural hazard and climate change resiliency. Recently, Professor
Mulvaney received a grant from the Northern Gulf Institute for his
inter-disciplinary proposal entitled “Surveying the Impact of Takings
Jurisprudence on Coastal Development Approvals.” Among other affiliations,
Professor Mulvaney is the Secretary of the AALS Section on Property and an
editor of the Environmental Law Prof Blog.
Prior to joining Texas
Wesleyan, Professor Mulvaney worked at an environmental law research institute
associated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s Sea Grant
program at the University of Mississippi School of Law. At the University of
Mississippi, he taught Land Use Law and select lectures in Constitutional Law.
Before entering academia, Professor Mulvaney served as a Deputy Attorney General
in the environmental and land use practice group of the New Jersey Attorney
General’s Office.
He earned his J.D. from the Villanova University School
of Law, where he served as an associate editor of the Villanova Law Review and
received an award for the finest publication in the law review in 2003.
Professor Mulvaney earned his B.A. in economics from Haverford College, where he
served as president of the Haverford College Athletic Association and captained
both the basketball and baseball teams. After Haverford, he spent one year with
the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps.
