Professor Kent Streseman appointed head of appellate advocacy program
Professor Kent D. Streseman, a faculty member at Baylor University School
of Law, has been appointed director of the Ilana Diamond Rovner Program in
Appellate Advocacy at Chicago-Kent. Professor Streseman replaces Professor
Sanford Greenberg, who will step down as head of the program at the end of
this semester following six years of distinguished service.
A graduate of the University of California, Davis, and Cornell Law School,
Professor Streseman may already be known to many of you. Indeed, from 1998
to 2001 he served as a visiting professor here at Chicago-Kent, where he
taught legal writing, federal courts, and products liability. During that
time he coached six of our appellate advocacy teams which, among them,
advanced to the national rounds of the ABA and National Moot Court competitions,
the finals of the Chicago Bar Association competition, and the semifinals of
the Sutherland Moot Court competition. In 2000, Professor Streseman received
the Henrietta & Adolf Nudelman Award for service to Chicago-Kent's Moot Court
Honor Society.
At Baylor, Professor Streseman teaches, coordinates the annual school-wide
moot court tournament, and recently coached the team that won the 2002 John
Marshall International Moot Court Competition in Internet and Privacy Law.
You may be interested in knowing that before attending law school Professor
Streseman spent three years teaching high school English and drama.
Professor Streseman takes over a top-notch appellate advocacy program that
owes a considerable amount of its success to Professor Greenberg. A first-rate
professional, Professor Greenberg has administered the program with skill
and dedication, turning out not only nationally ranked moot court teams
but scores of individual graduates whose intensive training in appellate
advocacy will benefit the legal profession for years to come. Both our
law school and the larger legal community are far the better for his service.
Professor Greenberg will continue teaching conflicts and criminal procedure
at Chicago-Kent next year.
Please join me in thanking Professor Greenberg and in welcoming Professor Streseman.
