Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Dr. Jeremy Telman, a Valparaiso University professor of law who is a distinguished teacher and scholar, has been named this year’s winner of the Jack A. Hiller Distinguished Faculty Award.
The Hiller Award annually honors a professor in Valparaiso’s School of Law who is an exceptional teacher, scholar and role model.
Dr. Telman joined Valparaiso’s faculty in 2004 and has explored teaching and research interests in the areas of public international law, U.S. foreign relations law, contracts and business law, legal history and jurisprudence. He is co-founder of Valparaiso’s popular Conversations Project, which facilitates public, non-partisan discussions of current social, cultural and political issues.
He is a contributing editor to the Contracts Profs Blog, the official blog of the Association of American Law Schools Section on Contracts, and serves of the boards of the Legal Environmental Aid Foundation of Indiana and Hilltop Neighborhood House. Before coming to Valparaiso’s School of Law, he practiced commercial law at a large Manhattan law firm.
“Professor Telman’s contributions to the life and work of the law school extend well beyond the classroom,” said Jay Conison, dean of the law school. “He is an accomplished scholar in both law and intellectual history, and has promoted informed community discussion about complex and timely subjects through his leadership of the Conversations Project.”
Dr. Telman earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Columbia University, a master’s degree and Ph.D. in modern European intellectual affairs from Cornell University and a law degree at New York University.
