Corpus Fellow and Associate Professor in International Law  Dr Andrew Sanger (Faculty of Law/Lauterpacht Centre for International Law) is one of five finalists shortlisted for recognition as 'OUP Law Teacher of the Year 2023', sponsored by Oxford University Press. The award will be made at this year’s Celebrating Excellence in Law Teaching Conference, which will be held on 16 June and for which registration will be opening shortly.

The Law Teacher of the Year Award is a national award recognising the vital role that teachers play in the education of tomorrow's lawyers, and rewarding achievement in teaching.

Following nomination, candidates undergo a thorough judging process, whereby judges will visit to observe the candidates’ teaching methods, and conduct interviews with colleagues, students, Heads of Department as well as the teacher, to build up a body of evidence on which to base their decision.

Andrew said, "I feel enormously privileged, especially as there are so many great teachers out there who go unrecognised, and I'm extremely grateful to all my brilliant, curious and kind students, and to OUP for all that they do to make this happen."

LLM student Dominic Bielby said, "For those who have had the privilege of being taught by Andrew, news of his nomination for the OUP Law Teacher of the Year 2023 Award is both delightful to hear and entirely unsurprising. Andrew embodies the values of the model educator: his supervisions were intellectually enriching and engaging; his feedback prompt, diligent and insightful; and the support offered for our legal study, even in matters not directly related to his own responsibilities, useful and encouraging. The life of every Corpus lawyer has, undoubtedly, benefited from the presence of Andrew in our College: thank you for all you have done for us Andrew, and congratulations on your nomination!"
