David Schizer, Dean of the Columbia Law School, writes:

Our friend and colleague, Professor Richard Uviller, passed away on April 19 after a battle with cancer that began last fall.

I know I speak for all of us when I say that Richard Uviller was a truly special person. We will always remember his kindness, optimism, good humor, and the generosity he showed to all in the Columbia community. Our hearts go out to his wife Rena and to their daughter Daphne, her husband Sacha Spector and their daughter Talia, Richard and Rena's infant granddaughter.

Professor Uviller, the Arthur Levitt Professor Emeritus of Law, was a 1953 graduate of Yale Law School. Before coming to Columbia, Professor Uviller spent the bulk of his distinguished career as an Assistant District Attorney in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, then under the leadership of Frank Hogan. Richard was an outstanding public servant in that highly respected office -­ becoming chief of its Appeals Burreau -­ for 14 years. He joined the Columbia faculty inn 1968 and soon became widely recognized as one of the nation's foremost authorities on criminal procedure and evidence. Professor Uviller was the author of four books and numerous essays, articles, and case comments.

Richard made an invaluable contribution to Columbia over the last four decades. His teaching touched innumerable lives and his scholarship has built the School's reputation as a center of learning about the criminal justice system. This is a great loss for Columbia and for the legal academy. A link to our more detailed obituary follows.

At his family's direction, memorials in Professor Uviller's honor may be sent to Opus 118 (an organization that brings classical music instruction to underprivileged children) at

THOMAS F. McBRIDE, former associate Watergate prosecutor and associate dean at Stanford Law School, died on November 4, 2003. He was 74. He was born in Elgin, Ill, attended Columbia Law School and began his legal career as a prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney Frank S. Hogan's office before going to Washington D.C. to become a trial lawyer for the organized crime task force set up by Attorney General Robert Kennedy. More details of his life are available here:
http://www.theolympian.com/home/news/20031104/northwest/140682.shtml

He had an exciting and varied legal career: in the 1920s he worked as a seaman on freighters and ocean liners, and during the course of his career, served as: prosecutor of the New York mob for District Attorney Tom Dewey, litigation partner in a Wall Street law firm, Deputy Head U.S. Negotiator at the Paris peace talks with North Vietnam, and Deputy Attorney General in the Eisenhower administration. Judge Walsh now lives in Oklahoma City with his wife, Mary.

What would Mr. Hogan think of the Internet? Websites? Instant Research? I recall when I was in the Office that we had to plead with Joe Lampach for a legal pad and 2-pencils. And I recall one year when the Office, in a budget-cutting move, wanted to stop getting all of the ADAs Pocket Parts for their individual copies of the Penal Law and the Criminal Procedure . . . The suggestion was thwarted by a groundswell of Assistants who thought that pocket parts were much more important than a new paint job on the office -- indeed, at the time I think I actually wrote, "Keep the pocket parts; forget the paint job!"

FREDDY RAYANO was reading ex-Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani's recent book, Leadership, and brought the following rare compliment to someone he worked with to our attention. On page 4 he writes

"While mayor, I made it my policy to see with my own eyes the scene of every crisis so I could evaluate it firsthand. It was a lesson I learned from a detective named CARL BOGAN. Back when I was a young assistant U.S. Attorney, Detective Bogan investigated many of the cases for our office. He always underlined the importance of seeing things with your own eyes, saying that all kinds of things would suggest themselves -- the alibi witness could not possibly have slammed the door of the red building because the red building had a revolving door, and so on."
