In Memoriam
The “In Memoriam” section is designed to recognize and celebrate the lives of legal historians. We began in 2021 with inaugural entries on Willard Hurst and Kitty Preyer, two beloved and foundational members of the Society. We have continued with additional essays by those who knew and admired recently deceased exemplars of the field. We hope that you will suggest additional members of our community who should be recognized here. We will be grateful especially for those who come with suggested texts and photos, or who recommend soliciting such a memorial from another suitable scholar. In general, format and length should roughly approximate our two inaugural entries.
