Lisa M. Fairfax, Leroy Sorenson Merrifield Research Professor of Law, was one of the recipients of the 2018 Association of American Law Schools' (AALS) Section on Business Associations "Outstanding Mentor Award." AALS announced the winners of its section awards for excellence in legal education in December 2017.
"Sections are a vibrant part of our association and serve as a forum for legal educators to connect, collaborate, support one another, and celebrate each other’s accomplishments," said AALS President Paul Marcus, Haynes Professor of Law, William & Mary Law School. "We are pleased to announce these honorees from our sections."
Professor Fairfax was presented with the award for her contributions to the field and generous support of colleagues. "I am honored by this recognition and will continue to work to develop junior scholars in the field," Professor Fairfax said.
