Professor Imwinkelried Receives 2006 DTA Award
Professor Edward Imwinkelried is the recipient of the 2006 Distinguished Teaching Award. Professor Imwinkelried was the unanimous choice of the Committee among the nine exceptional teachers nominated.
This is the second time Professor Imwinkelried has received the award. He was also honored in 1989. Professor Imwinkelried received his law degree at the University of San Francisco where he graduated first in his class and was on both the law review and moot court board. After graduation, he practiced poverty law with the San Francisco Neighborhood Legal Assistance Foundation. He spent four years on active duty with the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, including a tour of Vietnam. Before coming to Davis in 1985, Professor Imwinkelried taught at the University of San Diego and Washington University (St. Louis). He has visited at Illinois, Houston, and Dublin, Ireland. Professor Imwinkelried teaches Contracts, Trial Practice, and Scientific Evidence. He is the leading Scientific Evidence scholar in the nation. Widely published, Professor Imwinkelried is a co-author of The New Wigmore, the leading evidence treatise. He is a dedicated, caring, and challenging teacher, and we are so fortunate to have him as a member of the King Hall faculty.
The Distinguished Teaching Award and Donor Recognition Dinner will be held Friday, April 7, at the Veterans Memorial Center in Davis, California. Reception at 6:00 p.m. followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m.
Dean Rex Perschbacher thanked the nominating committee, which included Professor Millard Murphy, last year's recipient, Rebecca Chavez, a third-year student; and alumnus Toso Himel '75. "I appreciate their hard work and dedication in reviewing the submissions, which themselves constituted a wonderful tribute to the teaching abilities of the King Hall faculty and the advocacy skills of the nominators. The many enthusiastic and worthy nominations made the committee's choice a difficult one. We were deeply impressed with the teaching excellence, which symbolizes King Hall, demonstrated by the other fine nominees: Alan Brownstein, Jennifer Chacon, Christopher Elmendorf, Robert Hillman, Rob Mikos, Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Lisa Pruitt, and Donna Shestowsky. My thanks to everyone who participated in this process."
