An Appreciation Of Jonathan I. Charney, Lori Fisler Damrosch
An Appreciation Of Jonathan I. Charney, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Faculty Scholarship
Jon Charney preceded me into the academic world by a dozen years and already had a well-established reputation in international law when I was a brand-new law teacher. At the time we met in 1984, Jon was tackling some of the most ambitious topics in the theory and practice of international law, and he reached out to others for collegial engagement on those subjects. From the mid-1980s, he and I worked together on three collaborative books and on many projects for the American Society of International Law and the American Journal of International Law.
In Memoriam: David Feller, Joseph R. Grodin
For My Friend, Philip Chase Bobbitt
For My Friend, Philip Chase Bobbitt
Faculty Scholarship
Auden wrote somewhere that a friend is simply someone of whom, in his absence, one thinks with pleasure. How do we measure that against Dante’s famous observation that there is no greater pain than to remember happy days in days of sorrow? They are both right, are they not? I cannot think of my first memory of Charles without smiling even though all afternoon my throat has ached with the strain of suppressed anguish at the loss of him. “Memory is all that the death of such a man leaves us.”
Is Tom Shaffer A Covenantal Lawyer?, Marie Failinger
Is Tom Shaffer A Covenantal Lawyer?, Marie Failinger
Faculty Scholarship
In this festschrift article in honor of Tom Shaffer, the author considers what Shaffer’s work may share with “covenantal” ethics, a form of ethical argument that is not interchangeable with other traditions familiar from Shaffer’s body of work, such as the ethics of friendship or care or the ethics of virtue. Describing the ancient understanding of covenants, the article explores a few of the complexities arising from covenantal ethics in a professional context, themes such as the creation of obligation by historical decision, which has implications for the treatment of strangers; the ambivalence of covenantal ethics on the value of …
High Brow, Lee C. Bollinger
High Brow, Lee C. Bollinger
Faculty Scholarship
Terry Sandalow has an extraordinary mind, its power suggested by his incredible brow and forehead. (I'm always reminded, in fact, of Melville's description of the massive size of the sperm whale's head as representing its huge intelligence.) By any measure, Terry is very smart, broadly educated, and deeply sensitive to the nuances of life. From my earliest days on the law faculty, I remember being continually impressed, at faculty discussions and seminars, by his illuminating questions and comments and aware of his reputation among students as one of the most intellectually challenging teachers. Colleagues routinely sought his advice and criticism …
William Warren, Lance Liebman
William Warren, Lance Liebman
Faculty Scholarship
Don Rapson, then graduating from Columbia Law School and preferring not to be a foot-soldier in Korea, went to Dean Warren. The Dean said: "Go to General X in the Pentagon, tell him I sent you, and he will hire you as an Army lawyer." Don went to the Pentagon (it was probably easier to stroll in fifty years ago). The General said: "I never heard of Dean Warren." But after a lively talk Don was hired and supplied good professional service to his country.
Remarks At Memorial Service For Professor Kellis E. Parker, Kendall Thomas
Remarks At Memorial Service For Professor Kellis E. Parker, Kendall Thomas
Faculty Scholarship
Seventeen years ago, I came to New York and Columbia University to begin a career in the legal academy. Seventeen years ago, I met Kellis Parker. The two moments run together in my mind, quite simply because my life in New York and at Columbia are inseparable from my relationship with Kellis Parker. If I had the time, I'd stand here and testify. I'd testify about the man who was my colleague, my mentor, my model, and my big-brother-in-the-law. I'd testify about the Kellis Parker who was my careful and generous critic. If I had time, I'd testify about Kellis, …

A Legal Giant Is Dead, Henry Paul Monaghan
A Legal Giant Is Dead, Henry Paul Monaghan
Faculty Scholarship
Herbert Wechsler died at his home on April 26, 2000. Two days later, the New York Times obituary's headline announced the passing of a "legal giant," a richly merited appellation. Herbert Wechsler was, I believe, the greatest academic figure in the history of Columbia Law School. At the height of his career, Herb stood at the top of three academic fields: criminal law, constitutional law, and federal jurisdiction. His achievements were, moreover, not confined to Columbia, the faculty of which he joined in 1933 after having served as law clerk to Justice Harlan Fiske Stone. From 1944 to 1946, Herb …
Milton Handler: Teacher, Lance Liebman
Milton Handler: Teacher, Lance Liebman
Faculty Scholarship
I did not know Milton Handler until he was eighty-eight years old.Of course I knew of him. I had lived near the world of Philip Areeda and Steve Breyer, antitrust experts who knew very well that Milton had begun the study of competition law; had been in that founding generation of activist law scholars who implemented the realist vision by expanding the canon of common law courses – contracts, torts, property – to statutory and regulatory fields such as taxation, regulated industries, labor law, and corporations.
The Election Of Thomas Buergenthal To The International Court Of Justice, Lori Fisler Damrosch
The Election Of Thomas Buergenthal To The International Court Of Justice, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Faculty Scholarship
For the first time since 1981, a new judge of United States nationality has taken office at the International Court of Justice. As the method for selection of this important judicial post is little known even within the international law profession, a brief note on how that process unfolded in 1999-2000 should be of interest to the Court's constituency.

William J. Brennan, Jr., Peter L. Strauss
Faculty Scholarship
When I was privileged to be Justice Brennan's law clerk, he had not yet earned even from his own law school the affection and respect that have prompted the editors of this law review, and doubtless many others, to offer an issue in dedication to him. In the three decades following, he made his claim to both unmistakably clear. His extraordinary tenure on the Court produced 1360 opinions, spread over the last 146 of the Court's first 497 volumes. Nearly a decade after his retirement, it is probably still the case that more opinions in constitutional law teaching materials carry …
In Honor Of Stefan A. Riesenfeld, Lori Fisler Damrosch
In Honor Of Stefan A. Riesenfeld, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Faculty Scholarship
In this issue dedicated to Professor Riesenfeld, his achievements as a scholar and teacher will appropriately receive central attention. As a contributor who also worked with him in his Washington days, I would like first to recall a few anecdotes from that time (which I hope he remembers as fondly as I do) and then turn to an assessment of his contributions to the literature on the interface between the constitutional and international law of treaties.

William J. Brennan, Jr., American – In Memoriam, Gerard E. Lynch
Faculty Scholarship
At Justice Brennan's funeral, President Clinton spoke of the justice's enormous impact on our country's law-thirty-four years on the Supreme Court, over 1300 opinions authored, many of them landmarks: Baker v. Carr, opening the way to one person, one vote; Craig v. Boren, wielding the Equal Protection Clause to strike down discrimination on the basis of sex; Goldberg v. Kelly, insisting on the right of the poorest citizens of the administrative state to be heard in the face of an arbitrary bureaucracy; New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, articulating the modem rationale for a free press; …
