Tribute to Prof. John Gaubatz

Earlier on this blog, I reported on the death of Prof. John Gaubatz of the University of Miami School of Law.

Jeffrey N. Pennell (Richard H. Clark Professor of Law, Emory Law School) has recently authored an article entitled In Memoriam: John T. Gaubatz, 62 U. Miami L. Rev. 673 (2008).

Here is an excerpt:

John Gaubatz was special. We know that in part because this is only the fourth time this Law Review has dedicated an issue in tribute to a former professor. Looking at a record of John’s service to the University of Miami School of Law you see that he was instrumental in numerous important ways, above and beyond anyone’s notion of the call of duty. But this opportunity to remember John is not about his accomplishments, of which there were many. Instead, I hope to share a little of what I knew about John as a person, to record and to honor his spirit, how he improved our being around him, and our loss.
