Professor Brian Lepard is the 2015-16 Recipient of the John H. Binning Award for Excellence. This award is provided annually to a professor who excels in teaching, research or public service. This year, Professor Lepard published two book chapters, a book review, updates for a tax book, and completed the manuscript for an edited book with the Cambridge University Press. As impressive as his productivity is his breadth as a scholar in that he writes expansively about human rights, tax law, comparative religion, and Baha'i principles and the law. Professor Lepard also put a great deal of effort into his teaching this year by adding skills exercises and providing individualized feedback in all of his classes, even to his class of one hundred 1L students in International Perspectives. Professor Lepard also serves as the Director of the LL.M. in Global Legal Practice Program, which he is working hard to grow and develop.
