Cheshire Resident Honored by Connecticut Bar Association

Quinnipiac University School of Law Dean Brad Saxton was recently presented with the Connecticut Bar Association’s Tapping Reeve Legal Educator Award. 

As dean and professor of law at Quinnipiac University School of Law since 2002, Saxton has overseen a staff of faculty and administrators dedicated to providing law students with a successful legal education that effectively blends doctrinal and practical training as its core value.

Under his just-ending tenure as dean, Quinnipiac University School of Law has boasted accomplishments in student competition teams, including a Mock Trial Society, Moot Court Society, and Society for Dispute Resolution. While each of these competition teams has enjoyed success over the years, the Society for Dispute Resolution has enjoyed the most achievement - having won the regional mediation competition twice in three years, sending the team to the national competition.

The Society for Dispute Resolution is also unlike the other competition teams in that it is not purely a competition team; instead, the organization has a strong community service arm that strives to have as many activities as possible available to the entire student population.
