UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI SCHOOL OF LAW — Faculty and staff from Miami Law were represented at the 116th Association of American Law Schools annual meeting, themed “Freedom, Equality, and the Common Good.” Professor Anthony V. Alfieri, director of the Center for Ethics & Public Service, was awarded the 12th Annual Fred C. Zacharias Memorial Prize for Scholarship in Professional Responsibility. “It is a great honor to win the Fred C. Zacharias Memorial Prize this year, especially having known Fred as a scholar and a respected leader in the professional responsibility academic community,” said Alfieri. “It is also gratifying to see professional responsibility scholarship recognized in the field of civil rights, a critically important part of the educational mission of the Center for Ethics and Public Service.” The honor is awarded yearly to outstanding work in legal ethics by the AALS Section on Professional Responsibility, one of 104 sections. Zacharias, a law professor at the University of San Diego Law School, died in 2009 at the age of 56, after a career as a nationally known expert in professional responsibility, writing on the ethical duties that lawyers have to the legal system and society as well as clients. The prize was established to honor and carry on his work.
