I was recently invited to join the UW School of Law as an adjunct faculty member for the 2018 Spring Quarter. I will be teaching Alan Kirtley's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) class, and am acutely aware that I am being asked to fill the shoes of a giant in our field. I am honored and excited. Wish me luck!
