Annual Awards Recognize 'Serious' Teaching
The Trustees Teaching Awards, the Leon H. Wallace Teaching Award, and the Leonard D. Fromm Public Interest Faculty Award, given annually, pay tribute to the School's continued and steadfast commitment to quality instruction.
"Each year at the end of the spring semester, we pause to recognize that at the heart of our law school are your teachers, and to honor teachers whose contributions to students' learning are judged outstanding," said Dean Lauren Robel.
After poring over each faculty member's evaluations, a student committee named Professors Jeannine Bell, Hannah Buxbaum, and Ken Dau-Schmidt the 2008 winners of the Trustees Teaching Award. The Leon H. Wallace Teaching Award for 2008 went to Professor Charles Geyh, and the Public Interest Law Foundation named Professor Luis Fuentes-Rohwer winner of the Leonard D. Fromm Public Interest Faculty Award. Beloved professor Patrick Baude, who retires in May after 40 years of challenging and ambitious teaching, received a special Lifetime Achievement in Teaching Award.
Winners were recognized during a ceremony held April 16 in the Moot Court Room.
