He was honored for his paper, "The Tortuous History of the Mutual-Mistake Doctrine in Michigan Contract Law," which was presented at the Academy's 2011 annual conference. "I am honored to be chosen for this award, and privileged to work at an institution where contributing to the public's understanding of the law is encouraged," said Stockmeyer, who teaches at the Lansing campus. Stockmeyer's paper has been published in the Academy's academic journal, Michigan Academician. "This is well-deserved recognition of Professor Stockmeyer's dedication to scholarly outreach," added Cooley Associate Dean of Faculty Charles Cercone.
