The Court Years 1939-1975: The Autobiography Of William O. Douglas (1980), Ralph S. Tyler Jul 1981

The Court Years 1939-1975: The Autobiography Of William O. Douglas (1980), Ralph S. Tyler

Washington Law Review

Few Americans would claim objectivity on the subject of William O. Douglas. He inspired powerful reactions. I start by stating my deeply held admiration for Justice Douglas, a respect nurtured at a distance and from his writings. His writings brought Douglas the man and Douglas the Justice close to many who never met him. His words show him to be a man who cared profoundly about the world, its people, his country, and the law. Decades of American law students, particularly those like me who studied law in the 1960's and 1970's, listened to Justice Douglas, whether he was in …


Dedication To The Honorable Charles Horowitz, Betty B. Fletcher Mar 1981

Dedication To The Honorable Charles Horowitz, Betty B. Fletcher

Washington Law Review

Those of us who have had the privilege to know and work closely with Charles Horowitz are most gratified that the Washington Law Review is dedicating this issue to him. It is particularly fitting from the standpoint of the law school and the law review, for he received his undergraduate degree and his law degree from the University of Washington. In law school he was both the honor graduate of the class of 1927 and president of the student board of editors of the law review (today's counterpart to the "Editor-in-Chief'). Since that time he has continued a close and …


The Careful Scholarship Of Justice Charles Horowitz, Richard Cosway Mar 1981

The Careful Scholarship Of Justice Charles Horowitz, Richard Cosway

Washington Law Review

How appropriately the editors of this review have elected to dedicate some of its pages to honor a distinguished lawyer and judge whose legal career has closely paralleled the history of the publication itself. The name of Charles Horowitz appears on the masthead of the first two volumes, first as member and then as president of its editorial board. In later years, he has written for the Review, citing and analyzing decisions of the courts on which he later sat. That other Review authors have not always agreed with him will neither shock, wound, nor surprise him. After all, the …

Charles Horowitz: A Memoir, James M. Dolliver Mar 1981

Charles Horowitz: A Memoir, James M. Dolliver

Washington Law Review

To James A. Garfield's aphorism that the best education would be found with the student on one end of a bench and Mark Hopkins at the other I would add that the best education for a new member of the Washington Supreme Court is to have had Charles Horowitz at one end of the bench and the new member on the other. During the 42 years I have been a member of the court, through the implacable rules of seniority, he occupied one end of the bench and I the other. In the conference room, however, I always sat directly …

Tribute: Robert I. Stevenson, B.J. Brabham Jan 1981

Tribute: Robert I. Stevenson, B.J. Brabham

University of Richmond Law Review

Professor Robert I. Stevenson must retire from teaching after this academic year. Students and faculty here at the University of Richmond Law School are saddened by the prospect. Many have gone to him personally, urging him to stay on for just one more year (hoping, without doubt, to see that "one more year" stretch into many more years). All have come away disappointed. Bob Stevenson believes that mandatory retirement, at least in this profession, is a good thing. He has seen too many excellent teachers, judges, and the like, continue on the job long after their excellence has vanished. And …

Dedication: Robert I. Stevenson

University of Richmond Law Review

Robert I. Stevenson will retire from his position as Professor of Law at the University of Richmond School of Law at the end of the 1981-82 academic year. Mr. Stevenson joined the faculty of T.C. Williams in 1974 and since that time has shared his knowledge, his wit and his perspective with countless students who by chance or design enrolled in his courses. To acknowledge our deep appreciation for the contribution which Mr. Stevenson has made to the quality of legal education at T. C. Williams and to express our sense of loss at his impending departure, the Editorial Board …

The Editorial Board of the University of Richmond Law Review respectfully dedicates this issue to the memory of J. Westwood Smithers, 1909-1981, member of the Law Faculty for thirty years and the first editor of the University of Richmond Law Notes, from which the University of Richmond Law Review developed.


Tribute: Robert I. Stevenson, Sally Yates Wood Jan 1981

Tribute: Robert I. Stevenson, Sally Yates Wood

University of Richmond Law Review

I remember a fellow T. C. Williams law student turning to me at the end of a school semester and remarking: "I really did learn alot in Mr. Stevenson's Products Liability class, and you know, I swear I don't know how." I certainly had to agree that I, too, had learned alot, and I knew that this had been the case in all the courses I had had under Mr. Stevenson. (While at T. C. Williams, I managed to enroll in every class offered by Mr. Stevenson.) I did chuckle, however, at my friend's bewilderment about how or why he …
