Bar News - December 14, 2012 UNH Law Professors Named Most Influential
Joining a number of the most prominent voices from law schools around the country, Sparrow and Garvey were recognized for their pioneering work in improving the quality of legal education. Their work has directly benefited countless UNH Law students, making them both prominent voices in the national conversation on how law schools can better train the next generation of lawyers. Sparrow is the co-author of five law education books and has conducted more than 70 workshops and presentations on teaching, professionalism, assessment, and writing. In spring 2012, she was a Fulbright Scholar at the National Law University in Jodhpur, India. Garvey is the director of the Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program, an innovative program that has received national praise. The honors program prepares students for admission to the bar based on rigorous evaluation of their practical legal skills, as well as substantive knowledge of the law. Garvey was selected to serve on the Carnegie Foundation’s Initiative on the Future of Legal Education and has been asked to speak at national and international events. In 2011, the NH Bar awarded Garvey the E. Donald Dufresne Award for Outstanding Professionalism. According to John Broderick, dean of UNH Law, "both Sophie and John have made extraordinary contributions toward making UNH Law a pioneer in practice-ready legal education. Sophie, through her work on teaching, professionalism, and assessment, is a leading figure in improving the way the law is taught in the US. And as the founding director of the Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program, John has built a thriving model of what true practice-ready education should look like."
