Timmis, who joined Bowen in late 2025, has spent the past several months leading the law school’s admissions and enrollment strategy. In her role, she oversees recruitment efforts, applicant engagement, and initiatives designed to support prospective students as they pursue legal education.

Prior to joining Bowen, Timmis practiced at Wright, Lindsey & Jennings as a registered patent attorney. She earned her Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from the University of Mississippi School of Law, where she served as executive articles editor for the Mississippi Law Journal, chair of the Interprofessional Education Board, and a member of the Moot Court Board. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in engineering, cum laude, from the University of Mississippi. A Little Rock native, Timmis is a graduate of Pulaski Academy.

“Working with prospective students is the most meaningful part of this role,” Timmis said. “I enjoy getting to know each person’s story, reading their experiences, and helping them see what’s possible for their future. I look forward to supporting students as they begin their journey toward becoming attorneys who make a difference in their communities.”

Wells recently stepped into her role as director of admissions after serving in the Bowen Admissions Office since 2023. A 2025 graduate of Bowen Law and a concurrent graduate of the Clinton School of Public Service, she brings a recent and personal perspective to the admissions process.

A first-generation college and law student from Pascagoula, Mississippi, Wells understands the challenges prospective students may face when considering legal education and is committed to making that path more accessible.

“I know firsthand how overwhelming the law school admissions process can feel, especially for students who may not see themselves reflected in the legal profession,” Wells said. “In this role, I’m committed to making that path more accessible by providing clear guidance, personal support, and encouragement every step of the way. I want every prospective student to feel that Bowen is a place where they belong and can succeed.”

Wells and Timmis are joined by Amy Rhea, who recently began serving as office coordinator for the Office of Admissions and Records. In this role, Rhea provides administrative support and serves as a first point of contact for prospective students, families, and visitors.

Rhea brings more than seven years of administrative experience in higher education, most recently serving as executive assistant in the Graduate School at the University of Missouri. A Little Rock native, Rhea holds a Master of Arts in professional and technical writing from ĚÇĐÄVlog´«Ă˝ Little Rock.

She previously served as Clinical Director of Bowen’s Consumer Protection Clinic from 2022 to 2024 and directed the Immigration Law Clinic at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Her legal career includes roles as a clinical fellow, adjunct professor, and public interest attorney working with low-income clients.

Greene’s earlier practice included supervising attorneys in pro bono clinics and managing legal services for Catholic Charities, the Legal Assistance Foundation, and Legal Services of Southern Piedmont. Her teaching is grounded in real-world experience, bringing students practical insights into the legal system.

Her scholarship explores intersections between distinct areas of law, such as criminal law and landlord-tenant law or immigration and family law. Her recent publication examines Arkansas’s criminal eviction statute, which allows tenants to be charged with a misdemeanor for failure to pay rent.

Greene was drawn to Bowen for its emphasis on public service and practice-ready education. “I am continually impressed by students’ enthusiasm, intelligence, dedication and persistence,” she says.

She brings professional ethics, access to justice, and civic responsibility into every course she teaches. “In my research, and in my teaching, I focus on how these abstract values can play out in the real practice of law.”

Richard Kilpatrick teaches Contracts, Sales, and Maritime Law at the ĚÇĐÄVlog´«Ă˝ Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law. A scholar of international commercial law, Kilpatrick brings both global insight and practical experience to the classroom.

Before returning to Bowen, Kilpatrick taught commercial law at business schools in Illinois and South Carolina and practiced at a law firm in Chicago. His scholarly work explores the contractual implications of geopolitical risk—a topic that forms the basis of his forthcoming book.

His commitment to creating dynamic, discussion-based learning environments supports Bowen’s emphasis on professionalism and practice-readiness, especially in foundational first-year courses.

Kilpatrick also has a personal connection to Bowen’s leadership. As a student at Tulane University Law School, one of his favorite professors was Colin Crawford—now dean of Bowen Law. “He even convinced me to spend a semester as an exchange student in Shanghai, which was an experience that I will never forget.”

Kilpatrick earned his J.D. from Tulane University Law School and his B.A. from Georgia Southern University.

Michael Geiselhart teaches Business Associations, Contracts I and II, Government Contracts, and Freedom of Information Act at the ĚÇĐÄVlog´«Ă˝ Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law. With a strong background in federal government service and administrative law, he brings both real-world experience and scholarly insight into the classroom.

He began his legal career as a Cannon Fellow in Higher Education and Health Law in the General Counsel’s Office at Washington University in St. Louis. He then clerked for the Hon. John M. Bodenhausen in the Eastern District of Missouri before serving for eight years as an Assistant District Counsel with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. There, he focused on contract formation, administration, and litigation, and represented the United States before multiple tribunals. He was also appointed as a Special Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Before joining the tenure-track faculty, he served as an adjunct professor at Bowen, teaching Government Contracts and FOIA. His academic research focuses on the theory and practice of government contracting and administrative law. He is currently working on a treatise addressing the legal and structural foundations of federal procurement.

“The emphasis on excellence in teaching is one of my favorite things about Bowen,” he says. “It’s a school where that ability is valued, encouraged, and practiced.”

His commitment to public service and access to justice is evident in both his teaching and scholarship. “My research supports small businesses navigating government contracts—an area of law where legal representation is often inaccessible.”

When he’s not in the classroom or library, he enjoys weightlifting as a way to stay grounded and focused. “Fitness provides an opportunity to refresh the mind while enhancing physical health,” he adds.

He earned a J.D. from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law and holds dual undergraduate degrees in History and Journalism from the University of Georgia.

Jordan Wallace-Wolf teaches Remedies, Torts, and Criminal Law at the ĚÇĐÄVlog´«Ă˝ Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law. His teaching and research center on the intersection of constitutional rights, privacy, and legal theory, with particular emphasis on the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments.

Before joining Bowen, Wallace-Wolf earned both his J.D. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from UCLA, where he later served as a research fellow. He also holds degrees from Tufts University and Yale. His current scholarship examines emerging legal issues such as geofencing surveillance under the Fourth Amendment and recent efforts to invoke Rule 65(c) more aggressively in injunction cases against the federal government. He also maintains an active interest in Arkansas tort law.

Wallace-Wolf was drawn to Bowen’s mission-oriented environment and its commitment to addressing real legal needs in Arkansas. “Bowen is a public-focused law school,” he says. “Being a part of that is a distinctly rewarding kind of legal work. I especially enjoy exposing students to new ideas—it’s the least I can do, given how often they do the same for me.”

His work also explores the philosophical dimensions of legal education. “Behind most doctrines lies the same root question: Why is it fair? Why is it the right rule for our legal system? Answering that question is part of appreciating the spirit of the law in addition to its letter.”

Wallace-Wolf first became interested in law while working as an assistant to a journalist covering legal controversies in the post-9/11 era. He interviewed military and intelligence officials about Guantanamo Bay tribunals, the Patriot Act, and constitutional rights in wartime—experiences that deeply influenced his legal and academic path.

He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and a J.D. from UCLA, an M.A. from Tufts University, and a B.A. in Political Science from Yale University.

Taylor Farr teaches Research, Writing, and Analysis I and II at the ĚÇĐÄVlog´«Ă˝ Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law. A dedicated legal educator with deep Arkansas roots, Farr is passionate about equipping students to become not just capable attorneys, but ethical leaders in their communities.

Farr brings a breadth of experience in private practice, federal courts, and legal instruction. He previously served as an adjunct professor at the University of Arkansas – Fayetteville, worked as an attorney advisor for the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced law with Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Conner & Winters, LLP. He also clerked for the Hon. Bobby E. Shepherd, Circuit Judge on the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

His research focuses on the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence. Farr recently published two articles in The Arkansas Lawyer: “Artificial Intelligence 101: The Good, The Bad, and The (Un)Ethical” and “Artificial Intelligence in the Natural State.”

A lifelong Arkansan, Farr was drawn to Bowen’s mission of service and practice-ready education. “I love knowing that what I am doing in the classroom will have an impact on my home,” he says. “I’m thrilled to work alongside colleagues who care not only about the theory of law but also its practice.”

His teaching emphasizes professionalism and civility—values he sees as increasingly urgent. “Too often, attorneys undermine the rule of law by failing to provide clients with the representation they deserve or by failing to practice civility toward one another,” he says. “In my class, I teach broader practice-of-law principles that address these issues and tie them to the course material.”

Outside the legal world, Farr is known for his school spirit. “I was a mascot at the University of Arkansas,” he says. “I beat the Baylor Bear in a dance-off and appeared in a commercial on ESPN.”

Farr earned a J.D. from the University of Arkansas School of Law and a B.S. in Crop, Soil & Environmental Sciences from the University of Arkansas.
