In Memoriam: Anthony Lewis

June 01, 2015

Anthony Lewis, a former New York Times reporter and columnist who twice won the Pulitzer Prize for his work, died at his home in Cambridge, MA, on March 25 at the age of 85. Known for his authoritative and accessible coverage of the Supreme Court, particularly during the years of the Warren Court, Mr. Lewis was the author of several books, including Gideon’s Trumpet (1964), which covered the landmark case of Gideon v. Wainwright, and Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment (1991). For more than three decades he also wrote a regular column for the Times on national and international affairs. In 2002, Mr. Lewis and fellow New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse received ALI’s Henry J. Friendly Medal for contributions to the law in the tradition of Judge Friendly and the Institute; they are the only nonlawyers to have received the award. An honorary member of the ALI, Mr. Lewis was the husband of Margaret H. Marshall, a retired chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and a member of ALI’s Council.

In Memoriam: Allen D. Black

Allen D. Black, longtime ALI Council member and distinguished Philadelphia lawyer, passed away at the age of 82. ALI members will surely remember Allen as the presenter of the Boskey motion at Annual Meetings for nearly a decade. We will all remember him for his tireless service to the Institute and its mission, and for his brilliance, principled dedication to the rule of law and law reform, and collegiality.

Allen was elected to the ALI in February 1976 and to the Council in May 1994. He also served as ALI First Vice President. In his nearly 50 years of service to the Institute, he sat on numerous committees, served as an Adviser on the Restatements of Liability Insurance and Agency (Third), and was a member of the Members Consultative Groups for the Restatements of Corporate Governance, Unfair Competition, and The Law Governing Lawyers.
