Rogelio Lasso taught at the University of Missouri at Kansas City for two years and at Washburn University School of Law from 1991-2003. From 1985 to1991, he was in private practice with two Chicago law firms where he litigated cases ranging from medical malpractice and products liability to breach of contract and patent infringement. Before enrolling in law school, Professor Lasso, with a background in chemistry, worked as a research scientist for Pillsbury, as an entrepreneur, and as a consultant for American companies in Latin America. His book, Products Liability and Safety: an American and Comparative Approach, has been accepted for publication, and his most recent journal article was "Some Potential Casualties of Moving Beyond the Black/White Paradigm to Build Racial Coalitions," published in the Fall 2005 in the Washington and Lee Race and Ethnic Ancestry Law Journal. A frequent speaker at conferences, often on the topic of technology and affirmative action, Professor Lasso is a member of various bar associations and legal organizations.

Professor Lasso came to John Marshall as a visiting professor in 2004, and became a full-time member of the faculty in 2005. He teaches Torts, Products Liability, and Complex Litigation.
