科罗拉多州 Criminal Defense Bar Honors 安英格兰

安英格兰, clinical professor at the University of 科罗拉多州的法律 School, is the 2020 recipient of the 科罗拉多州 Criminal Defense Bar’s “Advancing Justice” Award.

这个奖项 recognizes 英格兰’s years of teaching aspiring lawyers in 科罗拉多州的法律’s Criminal Defense Clinic and serving as a role model and mentor for those new to criminal law. Over 120 of 英格兰’s former students have gone on to work as public defenders in 科罗拉多州 and across the nation. 这个奖项, which honors those whose work has had an “exceptional impact on the criminal justice system and those accused of crimes, or for outstanding service to the criminal defense community,” also recognizes her prior work as both a state and federal public defender.

“I am honored to have been given this award by the 科罗拉多州 Criminal Defense Bar and to have had the privilege of teaching so many dedicated law students who are going to change our world for the better,英格兰说. 在我心里, 我是公设辩护律师, and getting the opportunity to continue to be a public defender, 代表客户, and teach students has been amazing.”

英格兰 leads the Criminal Defense Clinic, in which law students defend clients who are charged with misdemeanor crimes in Boulder County and municipal courts in both Aurora and Boulder. She also serves as faculty director of the Korey Wise Innocence Project, which she helped to establish at 科罗拉多州的法律 in 2010 and secure permanent funding for in 2015. 另外, she coordinates the annual National College of Capital Voir Dire, which trains capital defense lawyers on the 科罗拉多州 Method of capital voir dire.

Since joining 科罗拉多州的法律 in 2005, 英格兰 has acted as assistant dean of admissions, 训练模拟审判, taught Trial Advocacy numerous times, created a jury selection course, and is currently teaching a course on poverty law.

In recognition of her dedication to public service, in 2014 she received the Clifford Calhoun 公共服务 Award, given annually to the person who contributes to the public service of 科罗拉多州的法律 in the spirit and tradition of the contributions made by Professor Emeritus Clifford Calhoun during his 29-year law school career.

Before joining 科罗拉多州的法律, 英格兰 worked at the Federal Public Defender's Office and the 科罗拉多州 State Public Defender's Office. At the 科罗拉多州 State Public Defender's Office, 她在阿拉帕霍工作, 亚当斯, 焊接, 洛根, and Denver counties as a deputy state public defender. She later became a division lead at the 科罗拉多州 State Public Defender's Office in Denver.

Several of 英格兰’s former students and friends organized a special dinner in her honor following the award ceremony on September 10.

“It’s not every day that a law professor is recognized by the legal community for contributions to the practice, and I am so proud to be Ann’s colleague,” said Clinical Professor Colene罗宾逊, who co-teaches the Comparative Family Law course with 英格兰.
