Occhialino was noted for his presentation on changes in New Mexico law resulting from changes in the New Mexico rules of civil procedure and judicial opinions at the State Bar’s 2004 Annual Review of Civil Procedure.
Occhialino was also the overall highest rated presenter this year. He has taught at the UNM School of Law since 1977.
“Continuing legal education for attorneys is an important part of the educational mission of the law school,” Occhialino said. “This award signifies that the law school is accomplishing that goal.”
The awards, which include the categories of general, ethics and professionalism in continuing legal education, were selected from over 250 presenters on the basis of presentation ratings, seminar attendance and participant responses.
