The University of Alberta’s Faculty of Law reports that Rob McDonald is the recipient of this year’s Pringle/Royal Sessional Teaching Excellence Award. The award recognizes and honours a sessional instructor in the Faculty of Law each year.

Rob began teaching a sessional instructor shortly after receiving his law degree from the U of A in 1988.

The Faculty of Law saws that Rob won this year’s award because he “knows how to make things interesting. An expert in intellectual property law, he not only teaches the statutes and cases but brings life to his lessons with a bit of humor and anecdotes from his practice. He goes the extra mile to ensure that the course is kept current and relevant, and that his students remain interested, engaged, and respected.”
