Timeline
JoAnne Adrienne Epps (May 28, 1951 – September 19, 2023) was an American legal scholar and academic.
She was born on May 28, 1951, and grew up in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, graduating from Cheltenham High School in 1969.
She was recruited as a promising African-American student to enroll in Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where she became a member of the first class of women at that school.
Epps received a B.A. in 1973 from Trinity and a J.D. in 1976 from Yale Law School.
Epps began her legal career in 1976, as a deputy city attorney in Los Angeles.
She moved back to Philadelphia in 1980, and became an assistant United States attorney.
She joined Temple Law School as a faculty member in 1985, and then served as associate dean for academic affairs from 1989 to 2008.
She served as dean of Temple University Beasley School of Law from 2008 to 2016 before becoming provost.
She became acting president in 2023, following the resignation of Jason Wingard.
Epps' primary areas of teaching included criminal procedure, evidence, and trial advocacy.
She taught Litigation Basics, a course for first-year law students at Temple.
National Jurist named Epps one of the 25 most influential leaders in legal education, and her work on curricula and experiential learning in legal education served as inspiration for a new center at Temple Law School for training on accessing civil justice (the Stephen and Sandra Sheller Center for Social Justice).
Epps trained Sudanese lawyers who represented victims of the war in Darfur, as well as prosecutors for the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
After her death, Temple's Board of Trustees posthumously named Epps university president, removing "acting" from her title.
Epps was married to L. Harrison Jay, a longtime employee in Temple's community affairs office.
They lived in Shamong Township, New Jersey.
On September 19, 2023, Epps was onstage at a memorial service for Charles L. Blockson at Temple's Performing Arts Center, when she abruptly fell ill and lost consciousness in her seat.
She was taken to Temple University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at age 72.
A colleague announcing her death described her illness as a "sudden episode".
In 2009, she was named as a potential Barack Obama Supreme Court candidate.
After serving as the executive vice president and provost of Temple University, she was the university's 13th president.
She was the first Black woman to be permanently appointed and serve as President of the University.
Joanne Adrienne Epps' father was a machinist, and her mother was an administrator at Temple’s Tyler School of Art (then in Elkins Park).
