A Tribute to Earl C. Dudley, Jr.

handle is hein.journals/valr94 and id is 1285 raw text is: VIRGINIA LAW REVIEW VOLUME 94 OCTOBER 2008 NUMBER 6 TRIBUTES A TRIBUTE TO EARL C. DUDLEY, JR. John C. Jeffries, Jr.* E ARL Dudley joined the Law School faculty in 1989. It is not unusual for new professors to arrive with a few years of prac- tice experience, but Earl had an entire career before he entered teaching. Earl graduated from the Law School in 1967, where he was, on any reckoning, the most distinguished student. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review and received the Hyde Award given annually to the graduate whose scholarship, charac- ter, personality, activities in the affairs of the school, and promise of achievement most warrant special recognition. He immediately went to the Supreme Court, nominally as law clerk to retired Jus- tice Stanley Reed, but actually spending most of his time with the Chief Justice of the United States, Earl Warren. At the Supreme Court, Earl worked on Terry v. Ohio1 and Pow- ell v. Texas2-both cases still taught in law school today. After a year at the Court, Earl began a remarkably varied and successful practice career, embracing both private firms and public service. He started at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, D.C., then moved to Williams & Connolly, one of the nation's premier litigation firms. There Earl honed his skills as a courtroom lawyer. He also successfully represented the Democratic National Commit- 1281 * David and Mary Harrison Distinguished Professor of Law, the University of Vir- ginia. '392 U.S. 1 (1968). 2392 U.S. 414 (1968).
