Robert Childres
In memory of professor Robert Childres (1934 – 1976), the Childres Award is presented annually to the faculty member selected by the student body as the year's most outstanding teacher.
Professor Childres was a member of the Northwestern Law faculty from 1967 – 1972. He was a brilliant scholar, prolific author and distinguished professor. One formal student wrote of Professor Childres: he was “both a teacher and a performer. Lincoln Hall was his theater and he was in center stage.”
Faculty are not eligible to win this award if they were a recipient within the last three years.
