Rate My Professor Charles Ares

In 1966, Ares became Dean of the University of Arizona College of Law, serving until 1973. During his deanship, he recruited young scholars such as Andrew Silverman, Arthur W. Andrews, and Boris Kozolchyk to build the college's academic reputation, expanded student practice opportunities, and diversified the student body by admitting more women and students of color. He returned to the full-time faculty in 1973, teaching Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Remedies, and a First Amendment seminar until his retirement as Professor Emeritus. Ares was recognized for his sharp analysis of U.S. Supreme Court and Arizona Supreme Court decisions. His publications include Constitutional Criminal Law (1974), Civil Disorders, Lawlessness, and Their Roots (1969), Law and Society: An Introduction (1968), and Legal Education and the Problem of the Poor (1965). His legacy endures through the Ares Fellows Writing Program, Charles E. Ares Professorship, and Charles and Jean Ares Scholarship established in 2017. Ares passed away on April 29, 2020, in Tucson at age 93.
