Professor William (Larry) Church has been voted recipient of the 2003 Teacher of the Year Award from the Wisconsin Law Alumni Association (WLAA). The award, which has been given each fall for almost 20 years, makes a significant statement about the value and importance of classroom teaching at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
Each year, the WLAA polls the three most recent classes (not the graduating class) for their advice in conferring the Wisconsin Law Alumni Association's Teacher of the Year Award. To be eligible, a law professor must have completed three years of teaching at the Law School, must not have received the award in the past four years, and must be a UW Law School tenure-track faculty member.
