Alan Berman is Dean of Law at Charles Darwin University. Born in the USA, Alan, comes from interesting stock. His father was Latvian American and his mother, Moroccan American. Alan is a global citizen, comfortable in both Riga and Casablanca. After finishing Law School at Duke University, North Carolina, Alan worked in Sacramento, California. But he was never comfortable as a lawyer, preferring public service. He worked on Walter Mondale’s failed bid to oust Ronald Reagan in ‘84 and then went on to accept a position teaching at Massey University, in Palmerston North, New Zealand. From there he made his foray into Australia and completed a PhD before returning to the US. But he came back to Australia and accepted various teaching roles until he was finally offered the position of Dean of Law at Charles Darwin University. This is Alan’s Territory Story.
