So it turns out that I have been voted “Most Entertaining Law Professor of the Year” by the Santa Clara law students (with the award delivered by the Student Bar Association Presidents and duly inscribed on a vinyl record). It made my day! However, I also have to confess that I am a little bewildered — my family usually accuses me of being too serious and “a stick in the mud.” But it still made my day (and probably my month). (I think my property law students were happy for me, too! So kind of them.)


Starting next semester, Santa Clara Law students can expect to see an even more globally diverse campus as the Law School and the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (“ITESO”) have signed a new exchange agreement that will open up exciting opportunities for law students and faculty of both institutions.
