Biography
Professor Minneti leads the Law School's Academic Excellence and Bar Success Programs. He works with a team of professional academic support and bar preparation specialists whose focus is to equip students with the academic and executive function skills and mindsets they need to accomplish their personal best in law school and pass the bar exam on their first attempt. Professor Minneti teaches academic skill-oriented courses, including Foundations of Law Study and Enhanced Analytical Skills. Professor Minneti directs the Law School's Access Admission Program (formerly known as the ARC). He teaches Criminal Law to students entering through the Program, and together with the Academic Excellence and Bar Success Team, he partners with the Access Admission students throughout their law school experience. Professor Minneti regularly meets with students who are academically struggling, students who are seeking to enhance their academic performance, and students who are preparing for the bar exam.
Professor Minneti's scholarship focuses on two interests: (1) the intersection of behavioral economics and environmental regulation and (2) the study of how students' preferences, choices, and behaviors affect their academic performance. A common theme across his scholarship is the study of choice architecture and decision landscapes. In recent years, Professor Minneti has presented on topics related to the National Conference of Bar Examiner's NextGen Bar Exam and attorney licensure reform efforts.
