TOBI TABOR

Clinical Assistant Professor Tobi Tabor joined the
University of Houston Law Center faculty in 2000 and served
as co-director of Lawyering Skills and Strategies. Tabor, a
1979 Law Center alumna, taught courses on legal research,
analysis, and written and oral communication.
“I taught skills in order to help the students be as concise,
clear, to the point, and persuasive as they could be,” Tabor
said. “It was a rewarding experience for me, and I believe
that the school has continued to improve in terms of what is
taught, how it’s taught, and how they put students out in the
legal community.”
Tabor said she developed many relationships before her
retirement from the Law Center in August 2017 and has
many memories she will cherish for a lifetime.
“The most memorable thing at the Law Center was that
there were several professors who were really helpful in
terms of the kinds of concepts the students needed to learn,”
Tabor said. “Irene Rosenberg, who helped with refining the
concepts that I was trying to teach the students, was the
primary one I could talk to. I also relied on Gus Schill, my
former law partner, who was a UH adjunct professor.”
During retirement, Tabor plans on spending time with
family and hopes to get in touch with the outdoors by visiting
a number of national parks.
“I also want to do some volunteer work with an
organization for the homeless where the kids need help with
their educational needs,” Tabor said. ■
