The Younger Comparativists Committee (YCC) of the American Society of Comparative Law has selected Professor Kirsten Anker as the inaugural recipient of the Richard M. Buxbaum Prize for Teaching in Comparative Law.

聽In their nomination, the YCC praised Professor Anker for her 鈥渞ich and creative efforts in the teaching of indigenous law, including her successful field course鈥�. They also recognized 鈥渢he wide scope of [her] teaching interests鈥�, her "rigorous approach to comparative law and legal pluralism" and the interdisciplinary approach of her courses.

Kirsten Anker teaches Aboriginal Peoples and the Law, along with courses on property and legal theory.

As Professor Fr茅d茅ric M茅gret, Associate Dean of Research at the Faculty, explains: 鈥淧rofessor Anker encourages her students to think beyond rules as means of understanding prescriptive norms, and inspires a deep reflection about their role as legal agents and interpreters. An inspired legal pedagogue, she is carving out a place as one of the most original and creative theorists of indigenous law in the English-speaking world.鈥�

The YCC created the Buxbaum Prize in 2014 to honour Professor Richard M. Buxbaum, Jackson H. Ralston Professor of International Law (emeritus) at the University of California, Berkeley. The Prize recognizes demonstrated excellence in designing new courses, mentoring students, advancing the field of comparative law and classroom or clinical teaching itself, whether in private or public law.

The Prize will be presented during the Fourth Annual YCC Global Conference, which will take place April 16-17, 2015, at Florida State University College of Law, in Tallahassee.

The Faculty of Law congratulates Professor Anker on this nomination.
