Faculty Workshops

Richard C. Turkington Faculty Colloquia: 2004-2005

Each year, Villanova hosts a series of workshops. This year, we have decided to name the series in memory of our former colleague, Richard C. Turkington, who provided the inspiration for these workshops. Professor Turkington was a leading expert in the field of privacy law and a Professor of Law at Villanova University School of Law for 27 years. He believed that to be an effective teacher, a law professor must also be a dedicated scholar. Professor Turkington brought this vision to fruition through his unending dedication to a wide range of scholarly endeavors, including faculty workshops. This series is just one of his many legacies.
