Professor
Best New Professor, Indiana University School of Law, 2005
Professor Bradford was hailed "Best New Professor" in 2005 by the students of Indiana University. What made the students choose Bradford? Some of these comments from former students tell it best.
"Professor Bradford would always push me past my limits. At the time, I thought he was too demanding. Looking back, I could not be more grateful. ... Because of his exceptional teaching ability, I received a property law scholarship during my second year of law school. Above all, Professor Bradford inspired his students to better themselves by becoming beacons of knowledge and resoning. What more could you ask for in a teacher?" -- Justin W. Leverton, Indianapolis
"You are an excellent professor, and as a result, I learned the most in your class(Property I & II about the subject matter and how to become a great lawyer." - I.C.
"Through Professor Bradford's energy, passion, and committment, he has increased diversity within our law school and beyond. I am fortunate to be his student, and the legal profession is fortunate to benefit from his creativitiy, energy and commitment to diversity." - Julia Illman Maness, Excerpt from nomination for the ABA Henry J. Rasmsey, Jr. Award for Diversity, Indiana Univeristy School of Law
"I had the opportunity to study under some very fine professors, but I must tell you that Professor Bradford ranks with the very best. I have not studied under many professors who have the depth of personal knowledge (outside academic knowledge) and the desire to teach about the subject as he." - T.M, 2003
"He made what I anticipated to be a "dry" subject interesting & compelling and was able to hold my attention in class. Professor Bradford has high expectations of each student which I believe to be appropriate at this level of learning. He is an excellent motivator." - Anon., 2002
"He knows the material inside and out but also goes beyond by teachign us about morals and integrity within the law and [about] being a good lawyer." - Anon., 2002
"Professor Bradford is the most interesting, prepared and enthusiastic professor I've had yet in law school (or undergrad). He expects a lot from his students - but in turn he expects as much or more from himself - and it shows in his knowledge of the subject matter." - Anon, 2002
"Bradford always kept me on the edge of my seat, completely absorbed in the material. I admire his adherence to ehtics, to integrity, to the higher purposes of law. The way he teaches law makes me feel that he really believes in teh power of knowledge to ensure fairness." - Anon., 2002
