Law school recruits lecturer
■ Michael Moffitt will join the
University law faculty this fall
to work in the Appropriate
Dispute Resolution Program
By Brooke Ross
Oregon Daily Emerald
Harvard University law lecturer
Michael Moffitt is trading in Cam
bridge, Mass., for Eugene, where he
plans to raise a family while working as
a tenure-track assistant professor in the
University of Oregon School of Law.
Moffitt will
join the law fac
ulty this fall and
will work in the
school’s Appro
priate Dispute
Resolution Pro
gram, which is
designed to help
law students be
come effective
attorneys who
can listen to
MOFFITT
their clients' needs and help solve
problems outside of the courtroom.
Moffitt earned his law degree at
Harvard and has worked at the school
as a faculty member for the last four
years but he grew up in the Midwest,
and said he is looking forward to living
/oonooonorx
and working in a smaller community.
“I had looked at a number of other
schools, but the University seemed
like the place I’d be most comfortable
with,” he said.
Among the advantages of working
in a smaller school include having
more professional responsibilities
and being able to establish tighter
bonds with University faculty mem
bers, Moffitt said.
“I love the colleagues I have now,”
he said. “But my hope is at the Uni
versity I’ll have a broader set of col
leagues.”
Moffitt said Harvard’s size often
does not often allow for many faculty
members to get to know one another.
“Even just the law school at Har
vard is mammoth,” he said. “At the
University it will be easier to know
who’s who.”
Jane Gordon, associate dean for stu
dents and program affairs at the Uni
versity’s law school, said she and the
rest of the law school faculty are look
ing forward to working with Moffitt.
“We feel really, really lucky,” she
said. “We think he’s going to be a
tremendous addition to the faculty.”
Gordon and Moffitt will be work
ing together in the ADR program, and
she said they plan to continue previ
ous work to coordinate the program
Ynnomom'
throughout the law school and go into
the community to work with lawyers.
“Our students have really wanted
more emphasis in this area,” she said,
“and Moffitt’s background, knowl
edge and personality is going to be a
great addition.”
Another reason Moffitt chose Eu
gene, and is looking forward to the
move, is because he wants to raise a
family in a smaller city. He and his
wife are expecting their first child in
September, and he said it seemed like
an ideal time to relocate.
“In Cambridge, when you go out
doors you’re on the sidewalks,” he
said. “I grew up surrounded by a lot of
trees, and that’s what I’d like for my
kids.”
Moffitt will leave a lasting impres
sion on the Harvard law faculty, said
Frank Sander, a Harvard law professor.
“We’re sad to see him go,” he said.
“He’s a great person, and this is a ter
rific opportunity for him at the Uni
versity [of Oregon] law school. ”
Sander said he had the chance to
get to know Moffitt last winter when
they worked in a group for an inten
sive course on negotiation issues.
“He’s very conscientious, creative,
and has a wonderful relationship
with his students,” he said. “I can’t
say enough good things about him. ”
