Following up on Dan’s post, via Larry Solum comes the horrible, horrible news that Larry Ribstein passed away this morning. This has shocked and devastated our household and much of the legal academy. I’ve known Larry for many, many years. He was a supportive senior colleague at the beginning of my career (and remained one until the end). He was a prolific and interesting scholar with wide-ranging interests, from “uncorporations” to polygamy. He was also a good friend. He’ll be missed by many.
He was supportive of my early efforts too
Thanks for this, Lisa. It seems to be a common theme across the remembrances, unsurprisingly. He was incredibly generous and full of energy.
This is truly sad, a great loss for all of us.
This is a great loss. I only met him recently but I looked forward to many future engagements. It is a source of great sorrow that he is gone. This has been a tough year.
