handle is hein.journals/emint26 and id is 1 raw text is: Last fall, the Emory International Law Review lost a great advisor and
friend. We, the staff of EILR, mourn the passing of Professor David J.
Bederman, and it is with extremely heavy hearts that we write to remember
him.
Professor Bederman, the K.H. Gyr Professor in Private International Law at
Emory, will always be known as a masterful and prolific scholar of
International, Admiralty, and U.S. Constitutional Law, as an elite and
successful litigator, and even as an entrepreneur in the private sector. He holds
a special place in our hearts, though, as a teacher and academic advisor.
In the classroom here at Emory University School of Law, he was always
energetic, entertaining, and patient, even during the final years of his illness.
He taught us not only the black letter international law concepts we would
need in our careers and for our responsibilities on this Review, but also taught
us to love the subject-its principles, peculiarities, and paradoxes alike. More
than 4,000 students had the great pleasure of taking his courses here. He
deservedly won both the Ben Johnson Teaching Prize from the Law School
and the Emory Williams Distinguished Teaching Award from the University
for his efforts.
Professor Bederman also logged twenty years as a faculty advisor of this
journal, serving as wise counsel to each editorial board, shepherding a handful
of second-year students each year through the comment-writing process, and
advocating for the journal to the international legal community. In addition to
its function as a publication for the most important legal discussions of the day,
Professor Bederman never lost sight of the pedagogical function of the Review
for us, the student editors. He penned the introduction to our 25th volume,
where he wrote: [W]e tend to ignore the true worth of student law reviews
(especially those with an international or transnational focus): the scholarly
connoisseurship that comes with the editing process and the development of
young cohorts of international lawyers through the writing of Notes and
Comments.' This fierce advocacy of our efforts made him an invaluable
mentor for our publication.

Review, 25 EMoRY INT'L L. REv. 1, 2 (2011).
