Paul Schlauch, International Mining Law Adjunct Professor, Named "Mining Lawyer of the Year"

Paul Schlauch, adjunct professor of International Mining Law at DU, has been named Mining Lawyer of the Year 2009 for the fifth consecutive year.

Mr. Schlauch, a partner at the Denver office of Holland & Hart, was awarded the honor in the Who's Who in Legal Awards. Callum Campbell, editor in chief of the publication, said, "No one else has ever won this award, and the consistent positive feedback we received recognizes Paul Schlauch's exceptional level of performance, and service to clients. We have no hesitation in once again declaring him the leading lawyer for mining expertise."

The many students who have been taught by Mr. Schlauch and I can attest to his pre-eminent level of experience and expertise. His colleagues around the world have enormous respect for him and his work.

We at DU are delighted that he has been and continues to be a trusted and important part of our program, and we salute this great honor.

(As many of you know, Paul's co-teacher is another student favorite Robert Bassett, also of Holland & Hart and a greatly respected lawyer in his own right.)
