Biography
Over the course of three decades, Professor Boshkoff taught many courses including Bankruptcy, Contracts, and Secured Transactions. His excellence as a teacher was recognized by generations of law students and by his peers, who honored him with the Gavel Award, the Leon Wallace Teaching Award, and the Indiana University Distinguished Teaching Award—the university's highest award for teaching.
Professor Boshkoff compiled a remarkable record of service and scholarship. He served as dean of the Law School from 1972 to 1975 and as program coordinator of the London Law Consortium at the time of its inception. He was the author of three books and more than 70 articles, and in 1992, he was awarded the McKinney Professorship for his excellence in scholarship.
Although he retired in 1996, Professor Boshkoff continued to teach one course each year through the fall semester of 2014. He passed away suddenly in November 2015.
