The Rutter Award for Teaching Distinction honors law school professors who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to teaching. The annual award was established in 1995 by William A. Rutter, philanthropist, lawyer, educator, and author, who was a member of the legal profession for more than 50 years.
Please join us to honor this year’s Rutter Award recipient, Professor William H. D. Fernholz!
