A Tribute To D. Dortch Warriner, Robert R. Merhige Jr.
A Tribute To D. Dortch Warriner, Robert R. Merhige Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
On May 31, 1974, D. Dortch Warriner, an attorney from Emporia, Virginia, took the oath of office as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia. That solemn and auspicious occasion, which took place before the bench of the Circuit Court of Brunswick County, Virginia, was the genesis of twelve exciting and contributing years not only for Judge Warriner but for those of us, like myself, who came to know, admire, respect and love him.

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

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 …

The Editorial Board of the University of Richmond Law Review respectfully dedicates this issue to the memory of J.

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 …

J.Westwood Smithers- "The Professor", Robert R. Merhige Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
My first clearly defined recollection of "The Professor" has, to my enjoyment and embarassment, survived for more years than he or I would willingly acknowledge, but I would expect that the incident giving rise to my recollection has now become part of the folklore of T. C. Williams School of Law and will survive each of us.

University of Richmond Law Review
Mr. Smithers has been associated with the T. C. Williams School of Law for 50 years, both as a student and as a professor. Over the course of the half-century which has passed since he began his first year as a student in the old building on Lombardy Street, Mr. Smithers has served as example, mentor and friend to countless scores of students and attorneys both within and outside the state. He taught his last regular class at T. C. Williams last year, leaving behind a school saddened by his departure, yet richer for his service. The Editorial Board, therefore, …

John Westwood Smithers-versatile and brilliant scholar; dedicated and inspiring teacher; cooperative and genial colleague-these are my impressions after a fifty year association with him.

University of Richmond Law Review
I first became acquainted with J. Westwood Smithers in the fall of 1929 when he entered the law school as a student in what was the morning division. I was then in my second year, but due to the small number which comprised the student body and the limited library facilities at that time, not many newcomers remained strangers for long, and West, as he came to be known, was certainly no exception.

University of Richmond Law Review
On August 27, 1967, Robert R. Merhige, Jr., was commissioned as a United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, the embarkment upon what many members of the legal community have labeled a controversial judicial career. However, examination of Judge Merhige's numerous decisions reveals that his image as a disputatius public figure has been more than a function of his flare for vehemently enforcing pronouncements and policies of the Supreme Court. The man, who created fervor throughout this state and the South with his publicly chastised busing decisions of the early 1970s, has been a victim of …

After knowing Jim Payne as my Law Professor, fellow colleague, and friend for 23 years, I come to you today with the praise the man and his achievements so richly deserve.

University of Richmond Law Review
For those of us who knew him well, the utterance of any sort of tribute to Jim Payne, either oral or written, is a painful experience this soon after his death. There has simply not been enough time to heal the sense of loss or to fill the void which the departure of such a man inevitably leaves in the lives of those at all close to him in life.

William Taylor Muse, Harold F. Snead
University of Richmond Law Review
When Dean William T. Muse departed this life on October 31, 1971, the University of Richmond and the Commonwealth of Virginia suffered a major loss. His many valuable contributions to the University of Richmond, especially the Law School, are a living monument to him. When he was appointed Dean of the Law School in 1947, he resolved to make it one of the finest law schools in the nation. Because of his outstanding legal and administrative ability, devotion to his duties and unimpeachable character, he accomplished his goal. The fact that the Centennial campaign for $500,000 was a success is …

A Tribute To Dean William Taylor Muse, M. Ray Doubles
University of Richmond Law Review
William Taylor Muse - an excellent student, a great teacher, a cooperative member of the faculty, a distinguished Dean, a loyal alumnus, a dedicated public servant, a close friend, a Christian gentleman-this in a nutshell is my recollection of the man I knew intimately for forty-three years.

Dean William Taylor Muse- An Appreciation, George M. Modlin
University of Richmond Law Review
William Taylor Muse was a dedicated man-dedicated to his family, his church, and his University. From the day in 1924 when he enrolled in the University of Richmond until his untimely death on October 31, 1971, except for two brief periods, he devoted his life and his loyalty to the University as a student, professor, and dean. Although his primary interest was the Law School, he was -ever concerned about the general welfare of the total University and was always more than willing to serve it in any capacity. For years he was a member of the important Board of …

University of Richmond Law Review
It is hard to discuss William Taylor Muse, or The Dean as he was known to most of us, without using superlatives in what would appear to the uninitiated a super abundance. William T. Muse was many things-a devoted husband and father, an ardent Baptist, an enthusiastic and constant fan of athletics at the University of Richmond, a recognized scholar and legal author, a teacher of law for forty years, secre- tary and president of the Virginia State Bar Association, and a Sunday School teacher for most of his adult life. To most of us, he was pri- marily two …
