Professor Schmitz and David Blower ?07 Win Sandgrund Award

Last year, the Sandgrund Award for Best Consumer Rights Work was created with an endowment from Colorado Law alumnus Ron Sandgrund ('82). There are separate cash awards for faculty and student authors. The expectation is that we will make one award each year; however, this first year, we are able to make two awards.

This year’s faculty winner is Professor Amy Schmitz for her fine article, “Mobile-Home Mania? Protecting Procedurally Fair Arbitration in a Consumer Microcosm,” 20 Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution 291 (2005). The student award goes to recent graduate David Blower for his well-written piece titled “Colorado HB 1061and Advocating for an End of Caveat Emptor in Residential Leases,” 78 University of Colorado Law Review 101 (2007).
