Larry Ribstein, professor of law at the University of Illinois and previously George Mason, has died. He was 65. A friend of the Federalist Society's, Professor Ribstein was a man of great courage, intellect, and wisdom. He wrote on topics ranging from corporate law to the market for law to the crisis in legal education. The inspiration behind the blog Truth on the Market, he was always ready to give advice and help to younger colleagues. Indeed, he was scheduled to comment on two junior scholars' winning papers in FedSoc's annual paper competition to be presented at our Faculty Conference on January 6. He will be greatly missed.
