In memory of Bob Shepherd
December 11, 2008
My colleague and friend Bob Shepherd passed away today after a long illness. He came to Richmond Law in 1978, well before I did, and was already a legend at the school by the time I arrived. He was a tireless advocate for children, and was nationally known for his work. He was a lion of the law school, one of those in every workplace without whom going on would simply not seem possible. Revered by students and faculty alike, he was an intelligent, thoughtful, and convivial educator, colleague, and friend (even if he did persist in a quixotic quest to promote the fortunes of the Baltimore Orioles). He will be sorely missed.
