Bob Cooter received the Faculty Lifetime Achievement Award at the Citation Award Celebration last month. Alumni Noel Nellis ’66 and Quyen Ta ’03 received the Citation Award and the Young Alumni Award, respectively. When Dean Erwin Chemerinsky presented the award to Professor Cooter, he declared that, “If there was a Hall of Fame for law professors, Robert Cooter is someone who would be chosen on the first ballot. … Very few professors can say they’re responsible for creating a new field, but he did it with law and economics.” Bob responded: “Every morning I get up and say, ‘Today, I get to do exactly what I want to do.’ It’s the greatest job in the world.” Bob has taught at Berkeley Law since 1980.
Berkeley Law honors our faculty and alumni at the Citation Award Celebration each year. For more information on the award, see https://www.law.berkeley.edu/alumni/citation-award-ceremony/past-award-recipients
Congratulations to the winners of the June Berkeley Law Trivia Contest!

La Copa Trivial came in second with 101, while Keep Planking RBG was third with 100.
Save the date XXXX, September XX, for the next contest!
Roberto Contreras and Jairus Chappell totally bailed us out. We had some furniture arrive unexpectedly and we needed help getting the old furniture out of the space. Without any notice, Roberto and Jairus stopped by and took care of everything! They were super friendly, helpful, and responsive – we’re so lucky to have them at Berkeley Law.
Thanks to Montie and Patricia for hosting and monitoring Berkeley Law’s first ever trivia night! Even though I had to leave early, I had a fun time. I hope we can do this twice a year or something like that. It was a great opportunity to build community. Hopefully more faculty will join in on the fun (props to Ted M., Claudia P. and Andrea F.).

Final details are still being worked out, but it is scheduled for June 28th, 2018 5:30 to 7:45ish at the law school.
This will be team based trivia, where the MC (Montie) will read out a series of questions and the team will consult with each other, write down their answer, and turn in their answers at the end of the round for scoring.
Maximum team size is 5 people and minimum is 3. If you don’t have a team/enough people, sign up and we’ll help you form one. The sign up form is here – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dczWa02jSMmD-Eo6cee8nHDNHb89PJP-1ma4TxItpj8/edit?usp=sharing

| I am a foodie who loves to eat spicy food, and enjoy growing exotic citrus and chili plants in my backyard.
The town that I grew up in: I grew up in Bandung, Indonesia’s third-largest city located in Java island. Almost everything great and terrible about Indonesia can be found in Bandung. Although there is systemic poverty and pollution, Bandung is a good base for day trips to high volcanic peaks, hot springs, and tea plantations. It is also home to ITB (Institute of Technology Bandung) and is a great shopping destination with fashion outlets. If I could have any job in the world (besides the one I have now) It would be: I would love to be a successful chef specializing in spicy Indonesian fusion food. |
