RE: National Award for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching

Professionalism


Please accept this email as a letter in support of the Stetson

University College of Law's submission of its Elder Law Ethics videos

for the National Award for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching

Professionalism


I have had the opportunity to use selections of the videos in the Elder

Law Seminar I teach at Georgetown University Law School and in CLE

programs for state bars (Virginia in particular). The positive response

I have gotten from audiences has demonstrated that the videos

effectively transform the subject of professional ethics from an

abstract, sometimes tedious, mental exercise to a very concrete and real

personal challenge that both students and practitioners enthusiastically

wrestle with. Any teaching devise that does that deserves recognition,

and this award is an exceptional vehicle to do just that.


Very truly yours,
