Five Vanderbilt Law School faculty members, including both full-time and adjunct professors, have been honored with Hall-Hartman Awards for Outstanding Teaching from the Vanderbilt Bar Association. The annual awards recognize exceptional instruction in both first-year and upper-level courses. One professor is selected from each of the law school’s three first-year sections, along with two professors who teach upper-level classes. This year’s recipients include Vice Dean Lisa Bressman; Terry Maroney, professor of medicine, health and society; Farhang Heydari, assistant professor of law, for his upper-level criminal procedure class; and Matthew Shaw, assistant professor of law, who was recognized for his education law course. Mark Schein also was honored for his outstanding contributions as an adjunct professor.
