I note this because Professor Schwartz taught me criminal law as a "1L", which happened to include the first class of my first day of law school. I'll never forget him.
I'm glad he got a New York Times obit, as he deserved one. But I am disappointed that the NYT neglected to mention several important things about him. First, in addition to the accomplishments listed by the Times, Prof. Schwartz was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials, when still a young lawyer. Second, he taught criminal law for many years at Hastings in San Francisco after "retiring" -- well into his eighties. Third, as a Jew growing up between the wars, he was a pioneer in overcoming anti-Semitism in education and in the legal profession. In short, he was a great scholar and a kind man. I'm glad to have known him.
