“Adjuncts bring to our students a number of benefits that our full-time faculty cannot: namely, specialized expertise in a given practice area and the kind of skills training that only a practicing lawyer can impart,” says Daniel L. Keating, vice dean and the Tyrrell Williams Professor of Law. “And the most amazing part is, our adjuncts do all of this while maintaining a day job.”  Click here to view list of the celebrants.

At the ceremony, Dean Kent Syverud, the Ethan A.H. Shepley University Professor, and Sophie Wang, president of the Student Bar Association, thanked the adjunct faculty for the valuable lessons they bring to the classroom.  The law school then saluted the 40 current adjuncts with 10-19 years of service, and the 16 current adjuncts with 20 or more years of service. 

One adjunct, in particular, Larry Brody, received special recognition for his more than 40 years of service. Brody, an alumnus of the law school and partner at Bryan Cave LLP, currently co-teaches Family Wealth Management and Estate Planning & Drafting: Advanced Topics.
