The three Criminal Defense Clinics were honored last year with the University Departmental Award for Teaching Excellence given by the University Teaching Academy and the University Provost. Along with the Award came special recognition at the faculty convocation in April 2013, and a cash award of $25,000 to be used to fund the expenses of lawyers, teachers, storytellers, and activists committed to the rights of the individual to come to our school for the benefit of the students.
