苏珊·p·科尼亚克

传记

Professor 苏珊Koniak says the key to being a good legal teacher is to never lose sight of one’s key responsibility: to produce good lawyers. “When I’m standing in front of the students, it’s not about me, it’s about them. It’s my responsibility to ensure that they have a solid understanding of the material, and more important, the analytical skills and practical judgment that form the foundation of good lawyering,” she says.

A distinguished scholar as well as educator, Professor Koniak joined the School’s faculty in 1993, after teaching at the University of Pittsburgh 法学院 for five years. 除了在波士顿大学的职责外，Koniak教授近年来还在哈佛大学法学院、康奈尔大学法学院和耶鲁大学组织与管理学院担任客座教授。 She has published many articles and has co-authored three significant textbooks: 法律与律师职业道德, now in its 4th edition, 主要的宪法决定, 宪法判例 and an anthology of essays, 法律基础与律师职业道德. 科尼亚克教授在参议院司法委员会就卷入安然丑闻和其他类似公司丑闻的律师的行为作证，并在众议院司法委员会就集体诉讼律师的滥用行为作证。 她经常在媒体上引用律师的行为，集体诉讼实践以及律师和会计师等次要行为者在证券和其他金融欺诈中的责任。
