[More]
Geoffrey Hazard, Trustee Professor of Law, is perhaps the primary figure today in legal ethics in the country. His treatise, Civil Procedure, (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 upon approval by the sponsoring organizations has become a model of civil procedure for international commercial disputes; a treatise; and many articles, particularly on joinder, including class actions, and discovery. In professional ethics, his new book, Legal Ethics: A Comparative Study (with Angelo Dondi) compares ethics in the legal professions of modern industrialized countries. He is also a principal author of a casebook. He often acts as an expert witness in both fields. Hazard has received tremendous recognition for his work, including numerous professional awards (American Bar Foundation Research award [1985] and William Keck Foundation Award [1997], Columbia University School of Law Association Medal for Excellence [1999], American Judicature Society, Outstanding Contributions to Promoting Effective Administration of Justice [1999], the ceremony of Salute, Superior Court of Pennsylvania [1999], the International Insolvency Institute Gold Award [2004], and the ABA Robert J. Kutak Award [2005]) as well as seven honorary degrees.
