Professor Paula Lustbader has been on the faculty of Seattle University School of Law since 1988. When she was a second-year law student, she co-developed the school’s academic support program, which she continues to direct. She is a nationally recognized scholar and speaker on law school academic support programs, learning theory, teaching methods and diversity. In 2006, Professor Lustbader was the co-recipient of the Washington State Bar Association Award for Excellence in Diversity. In addition to being the past chair of both the Teaching Methods and Academic Support Sections of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), she has been a frequent program organizer and presenter at conferences sponsored by the AALS, the Law School Admission Council Institutes for Academic Support, the Institute for Law School Teaching, the Society of American Law Teachers, the Legal Writing Institute, the Teaching Professor and the Academy for Creative Teaching. She has made presentations on teaching in England, Switzerland, and Spain. Her work on faculty development focuses on teaching and thus is useful beyond the law school arena. Professor Lustbader taught at the AALS New Faculty Institute from 1999-2005; served on the planning committee and as a facilitator for the New Faculty Institute at Seattle University from 2001-2007; served on the committee to establish a Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Seattle University; and served as a faculty consultant to that center.
