On September 18, the University of Alberta Faculty of Law honoured Assistant Professor Sina Akbari and sessional instructor Amna Qureshi as the recipients of this year’s teaching excellence awards.
The reception was held in the David R. Percy Student Lounge, and Akbari and Qureshi were formally presented with the 2023 Tevie H. Miller Teaching Excellence Award and the 2023 Pringle/Royal Sessional Teaching Excellence Award, respectively.
The awards are the highest honour presented to faculty and sessional instructors in the Faculty of Law.
The Tevie H. Miller Teaching Excellence Award is named in honour of the late Hon. Tevie H. Miller, who served as associate chief justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta. A Faculty of Law alumnus, he acted as the University of Alberta Students’ Union president, president of the Alumni Association, as a member of the Senate, member of the Board of Governors and as chancellor.
The Pringle/Royal teaching excellence award is named in honour of Peter Royal, KC, and the late Alex Pringle, QC, each who were instructors at the Faculty. It recognizes the exceptional contributions of a sessional instructor in the Faculty of Law.
