THEODORE M. SHAW ’76

THEODORE M. SHAW '76 was named to the Phyllis W. Beck Chair in Law at Temple University, a position created in 1997 in honor of Pennsylvania Superior Court Judge Phyllis W. Beck. "Ted Shaw and Judge Beck both dedicated their careers to advancing equal justice under the law, making Ted an ideal candidate for the chair," said Robert J. Reinstein, dean of Temple University's Beasley School of Law. Shaw earned his law degree from Columbia University School of Law and is associate director and counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. In the challenge to affirmative action before the U.S. Supreme Court, Shaw represents 17 minority high-school students granted defendant status in the case against the University of Michigan. He also serves as senior vice chair of the board of trustees at Wesleyan.
