Prof. Louis Hensler has become a national expert bringing a Christian perspective to tort law. This expertise flourished after his 2017 presentation at the prestigious Nootbaar Conference at Pepperdine University School of Law, entitled: “Natural Affection: Natural Law or Natural Selection, and Does it Matter.”

He is the author of three key articles that explore tort topics from a Christian perspective, namely:

“The Legal Significance of the Natural Affection of Charlie Gard’s Parents” (Connecticut Public Interest Law Journal)
“Moses’ Restatement of Torts: Modern Principles of Justice and Efficiency in the Mishpatim” (Vermont Law Review)
“Civil Reconciliation Tort Theory: Making Torts Private Again” (University of Missouri-Kansas City Law Review)

Prof. Hensler is the author of a casebook which addresses torts from a Christian perspective. This casebook, Torts from a Higher Law Perspective: Cases, Materials, Questions, and Comments (Vandeplas Publishing, 2015), serves as his primary text when teaching torts each year.

Finally, Prof. Hensler actively promotes faculty scholarly efforts in his school, thinking and dialoging with colleagues about how to creatively enhance scholarly impact at the intersection of faith, law, and culture.

Congratulations, Prof. Hensler!
