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.
