Remembering Oscar Schachter, Lori Fisler Damrosch

Faculty Scholarship

In this issue of the Columbia Law Review and also in the pages of journals that specialize in international and transnational law,' my colleagues and I celebrate the professional accomplishments of Oscar Schachter as a superlative scholar and public servant, as well as his qualities as a human being. Here, I will speak mainly in the personal rather than professional voice. One of the reasons I want to reminisce rather than eulogize is the very impossibility of putting the proper frame on the superlatives.
