Dallan Flake is the Associate Dean of Faculty Scholarship and an Associate Professor of Law. Before joining 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Law in 2022, he taught at the Ohio Northern University College of Law and Brigham Young University.

Dean Flake’s scholarship focuses on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, with emphasis on religious accommodations in the workplace and the employment of formerly incarcerated persons. His current research addresses the circuit split over whether an accommodation can be reasonable if it does not fully eliminate the conflict between an employee’s job and religion. His writing has been published in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Washington University Law Review, Minnesota Law Review, Iowa Law Review, and Boston College Law Review, among others.

Prior to teaching, Dean Flake practiced labor and employment law in Dallas, Texas, with Winstead PC and Ogletree Deakins, where he represented management on a variety of employment-related issues, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, noncompete agreements, wage-and-hour claims, workplace safety, employment torts, worker’s compensation, and labor disputes.

In his free time, Dean Flake enjoys college football, tennis, skiing, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and road-tripping with his wife and six children.
