[More]
Geoffrey Hazard is perhaps the primary figure in legal ethics in the country today. His treatise Civil Procedure (Foundation, 5th ed. 2001), with Fleming James Jr. and John Leubsdorf, is a mainstay of American legal education. He continues to write prodigiously including the ALI/UNIDROIT Principles of Transnational Civil Procedure, which has become a model of civil procedure for international commercial disputes; a treatise; and many articles, particularly on joinder, including class actions, and discovery. His latest book (with Angelo Dondi), Legal Ethics: A Comparative Study (Stanford, 2004) compares ethics in the legal professions of modern industrialized countries. He is also a principal author of a casebook.
Hazard has received tremendous recognition for his work, including the ABA Michael Franck Award in Professional Responsibility, American Bar Foundation Research Award and William Keck Foundation Award, Columbia University School of Law Association Medal for Excellence, American Judicature Society, Outstanding Contributions to Promoting Effective Administration of Justice, the ceremony of Salute, Superior Court of Pennsylvania, the International Insolvency Institute Gold Award, and the ABA Robert J. Kutak Award as well as seven honorary degrees.
