I’m proud to announce Nancy Hardin Rogers’ receipt of the International Academy of Mediators Lifetime Achievement Award. I’ll let IAM’s description speak for itself:
Nancy Hardin Rogers’ impact on mediation as we currently know it places her among the living legends of ADR. From her work on the initial drafting of the Uniform Mediation Act to her foundational efforts as a Chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Dispute Resolution to her being Co-Chair with Frank Sander of the Dispute Resolution Magazine’s Editorial Board, she has been a pioneer who has made the path for the rest of us clearer….better.
Professor Rogers teaches and writes primarily in the dispute resolution area. Her co-authored treatise on mediation received the CPR legal Program Book Prize in 1989 and her co-authored short text on mediation received the same national prize in 1987. The Emeritus Michael E. Moritz Chair in Alternative Dispute Resolution, she also has coauthored a leading law school textbook in dispute resolution, now in the sixth edition, and in 2013 coauthored a textbook on dispute system and process design.
Since joining the Moritz faculty, she has served as Ohio Attorney General, Dean of the Moritz College of Law, Vice Provost for Academic Administration of The Ohio State University, Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for Moritz. Prior to joining the faculty, she was a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Thomas D. Lambros in Cleveland and practiced in the Glenville-area office of the Cleveland Legal Aid Society.
