Wilkins, who heads the civil procedures arm of the American Association of Law Schools, is also a favorite among students, and is considered the bestdressed professor at the Law School--which, he says, "isn't hard to do."
As longtime friend Pound Professor of Law James Vorenberg '48 puts it, "[Wilkins] puts out sparks in a lot of different ways."
When David B. Wilkins '77 got tenure at the Law School last year, he thought it meant that he could move off of the fast track and spend more time "sitting on the porch eating bon-bons."
Wilkins, who has taught at the Law School since 1986, says he hardly has a free minute to spend alone with the life-size cardboard cutout of Michael Jackson that inhabits his office.
Wilkins teaches the first-year introductory Civil Procedure course, and supervises student teachers for "Introduction to Lawyering." He is also director of the Law School's Program on the Legal Profession, which is designed to study the practice of law in America and suggest possible reforms.
