Crocker was quoted in the article Interim law school deans at Akron, Case face leadership challenges in critical era, by Michelle Park Lazette, in Crain’s Cleveland Business on Monday, December 9, 2013. Crocker served as C|M|LAW’s Interim Dean from March 2010 to June 2011. The Crain’s article quoted from Crocker’s article The Paradox of Being an Interim Dean: The Permanent Nature of a Transitory Position, 44 U. Tol. L. Rev. 319 (Leadership in Legal Education Symposium XII 2013). Crocker noted that “Interim deans can be just as effective as a permanent dean if they work as though their leadership is not limited.”
