Jane K. Winn Awarded Professorship in Law

Jane Winn, co-director of the Shidler Center for Law, Commerce & Technology and Fulbright Scholar, was awarded the Charles I. Stone Professorship on November 15th. Winn lectured on "Globalization and the Reinvention of Contract Law". Alumni and friends of the UW School of Law establish professorships to support the academic achievements of faculty. These endowments highlight the academic excellence that is the foundation for legal education at the law school. The Charles I. Stone Professorships were created from a bequest of Evelyn Egtvedt in honor of Charles I. Stone '39, who was the Egtvedt family attorney. Stone was a partner in the Seattle law firm of Perkins Coie Stone Olsen & Williams (now known as Perkins Coie LLP). See Professor Winn's profile or for more on other award recipients see the press release.   [Updated December 2007]
