In Charleston, Mr. Paskan taught at a law school, primarily legal research, analysis, and writing, but also taught a class focused on the MPT portion of the Bar Exam. During this time, he co-created a class with a contracts professor, demonstrating for the students that transactional law and litigation cross paths in practice; the co-teaching aspect is the basis of a law review article. Mr. Paskan is currently a visiting professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, and he is licensed to practice law in Ohio. Mr. Paskan has previously been named as an Ohio Super Lawyer Rising Star from 2013-2018 and was named “Professor of the Year” in 2020.
