Texas A&M University Frederic White Scholarship Award - For demonstrated “steadfast commitment and contribution to legal scholarship”
"Abraham Lincoln once famously stated, ‘Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can.’ I wholeheartedly agree. However, I also believe there are certain situations where the most effective option is turning to the courts. I want my students to be highly skilled and trained in both -- the ability to negotiate and compromise, as well as the ability to litigate when necessary."
