STANFORD LAW — Stanford Law School Professor Emeritus Lawrence Friedman gathered with close to 70 colleagues and friends on January 13th (with more on Zoom) to discuss his two most recent books. Over the course of the half-day Celebration of Lawrence Friedman, nine panelists showered tributes on the still-prolific, 92-year-old legal historian. Amalia Kessler, director of the Stanford Center for Law and History and an organizer of the event, spoke of “our beloved” Friedman’s “great intellect” and “tremendous menschlichkeit,” a Yiddish word connoting kindness and integrity.
