Madison attorney Brady Williamson has been named the 2006 recipient of the Warren H. Stolper Award, recognizing excellence in teaching and a commitment to the UW Law School on the part of one of the Law School’s adjunct professors.

Williamson began teaching at the law school in 1985, focusing on state and federal constitutional law, campaign finance law, and a series of other courses that the Law School opened to graduate and senior undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

He has received consistently excellent evaluations from students, who appreciate his creative approach to teaching and his ability to bring his wide-ranging experience as a practicing attorney into the classroom.

Williamson is a constitutional lawyer at LaFollette, Godfrey & Kahn in Madison. He has been active in recent years with constitutional and election law projects in Iraq, Sudan and Ukraine, traveling to Baghdad and East Africa to work with committees drafting new national and regional constitutions. His legal practice focuses on appellate advocacy and corporate law and reorganization; he has litigated a range of First Amendment, election and campaign finance law cases in the state and federal courts.

This is the fifth year that the Stolper Award has been conferred. The award is named in honor of Attorney Warren H. Stolper, who taught at the Law School for 40 years as an adjunct professor and was the first recipient of the award.
