Pierce And Arlana Hasler, Edward S. Godfrey Iii May 2025

Pierce And Arlana Hasler, Edward S. Godfrey Iii

Maine Law Review

Pierce Barnard Hasler, professor of law at the University of Maine School of Law, and his wife, Arlana Kogut Hasler, an engineer with International Business Machines Corporation in Portland, were killed in a plane crash in Juneau, on September 4, 1971, as they were returning to Maine from a hunting trip in northern Alaska. Their colleagues, Pierce's students at the law school, their many friends and, of course, their families have found the loss of those two fine young persons even yet almost insupportable.

With Thanks From A Student And Alumna, Nancy Diesel Mills Oct 2024

With Thanks From A Student And Alumna, Nancy Diesel Mills

Maine Law Review

On the first day of orientation for my law school class, we sat in the Moot Courtroom. After introductory remarks, the Dean was announced. He wore a button down collar shirt, Rep tie, gray suit, and Bean boots. He welcomed us and he told us how great we were. Mostly, he cracked jokes, some about himself, and rattled whatever it is he keeps in his pockets. It was classic Kinvin; and I knew, then, that I had chosen the right place.

L. Kinvin Wroth: A Personal Canadian Appreciation, Innis Christie

Maine Law Review

A Tribute To A Colleague Who Has Endured, Orlando E. Delogu Oct 2024

A Tribute To A Colleague Who Has Endured, Orlando E. Delogu

Maine Law Review

There is a certain vogue in the academic world, and certainly in the field of Law, that would measure one's worthy and real value to the profession by the number of astute moves from school to school made in the course of a career. One hoped to ascend, at four or five year intervavls, an unpublished but generally accepted institutional hierarchy (or pecking order). Each move would be marked by acknowledged teaching accomplishment and scholarly writing. In the professional life well-lived these moves would culminate in a chair or senior professorship at any one of ten or a dozen national …


An Appreciation Of L. Kinvin Wroth, Vincent L. Mckusick Oct 2024

An Appreciation Of L. Kinvin Wroth, Vincent L. Mckusick

Maine Law Review

Kinvin Wroth is a man who sports many hats. After wearing his Dean's hat for twelve years with confidence and grace, Kinvin, at the end of the year, is taking off that hat and returning to wearing full-time his wide assortment of other headgear. He takes off his Dean's hat just after he reaches the age of 58, at the height of his productive powers of scholarship, teaching, and public service. For many years to come, we of the State of Maine will continue to benefit from his labors, performed under his many other hats. But the end of his …

Remarks By The Chancellor, Robert L. Woodbury

Maine Law Review

In a time when university administrators seem to endure very short terms, it is remarkable that Kinvin Wroth served as Dean for 12 years. At the University of Southern Maine alone, he served with four presidents, four chancellors, four provosts, and a score of colleague deans. His permanent and productive legacy rests in no small part on the length of his commitment as well as its character.


“Finishing The Hat”: Reflections On David Skover’S Life In The Law, Ronald K.L. Collins Jan 2022

“Finishing The Hat”: Reflections On David Skover’S Life In The Law, Ronald K.L. Collins

Seattle University Law Review

This Tribute is about Law Professor David Michael Skover, written by his longtime friend, Ronald K.L. Collins. While crafting this Tribute, Collins recalls many personal and professional memories of David Skover. The result is a record of enormous achievement combined with heart-breaking affliction; it is also a chronicle of a man with an unflinching determination to achieve excellence in all things, from mastering his operatic voice to realizing his scholarly objectives.

Calvin Massey, Gentleman Farmer, Evan Tsen Lee Feb 2017

Calvin Massey, Gentleman Farmer, Evan Tsen Lee

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “So much of Calvin’s work was intelligible as work about freedom and independence, preventing aggregations of government power that threatened individual freedom. Calvin didn’t love federalism because he had a romanticized view of statehood, he believed in it because he thought centralized power in the federal government was a bigger threat to individual freedom than states were. In most states, a tin-pot governor and amateur hour legislators just aren’t going to be as effective at coercing beliefs as an Executive Branch that contains the U.S. Treasury, the Justice Department, the FBI, and the CIA, not to mention the Pentagon …


Why I So Enjoyed Learning With And From Calvin Massey, Vikram David Amar Feb 2017

Why I So Enjoyed Learning With And From Calvin Massey, Vikram David Amar

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “I am pleased and proud to participate in this tribute to Calvin Massey, with whom I had the pleasure to work and play for about two decades. When I think of Calvin—and I think of him often—I think of a generous friend, a gregarious colleague and a genuinely good man. He possessed many admirable traits, but today I want to focus on three: (1) his breadth; (2) his independent mind; and (3) his thoughtfulness.”


The Uneasy Case For The Retirement Of Douglas Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn Jun 2016

The Uneasy Case For The Retirement Of Douglas Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn

Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review

In the fall semester of 1964, a young Douglas Kahn joined the faculty of the University of Michigan Law School. During the spring semester of 2016, he will teach his final course as a full-time faculty member. For the interim fifty two years, he has been a fixture of the Michigan law school community. As a tax professor, former student, and his son, I am pleased and honored to write this introduction for an edition of the Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review honoring Professor Kahn’s tenure at the University of Michigan.
