Michael Hunter Schwartz (Washburn) is soliciting nominations for inclusion in his forthcoming book, What the Best Law Teachers Do (Harvard University Press, 2011):

I have three goals:

1. Find the best law teachers in America
2. Synthesize the principles by which they teach as an ethic to which I (and my colleagues in legal education) can aspire
3. Share these principles and stories of these brilliant teachers.

I will:

1. Solicit nominations
2. Gather evidence of nominees’ excellence
3. Pare the list to the most extraordinary law teachers
4. Visit law schools around the country, sitting in on classes, interviewing the nominees, and talking to focus groups of students and alumni.
