In Memoriam: Judge H. Emory Widener

Judge H. Emory Widener of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit passed away last week at the age of 83. Judge Widener played a helpful role in the establishment of the Law Library by donating several thousand briefs from the Fourth Circuit. Many of our students have used these briefs, sometimes as templates for their legal process assignments, and sometimes for support in framing an argument in a particular area of the law.

The Associated Press carried a story about Widener's death.
