The Clyde O. Martz Teaching Award, named in honor of the eighth president of The Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law, was established in 1993. Clyde Martz was an esteemed teacher of natural resources law whose casebook pioneered the teaching of the law of natural resources development. His many contributions to the growth and stature of the Foundation include editing the first edition of the American Law of Mining.
This award recognizes excellence in teaching natural resources law as the primary criterion. Consideration is also given to the fostering of a broad understanding of the law, the mentoring of students, and displaying an innovative style and other notable qualities in the classroom.
