On Wednesday, I was very pleased to attend the ceremony naming a classroom at
Georgetown Law in honor of
Anne Fleming, whose
untimely death is still deeply felt by many legal historians and especially the moderators of this blog. The members of the last class to take Contracts with her, who graduate this year, proposed the honor, which Dean William Treanor took up. He, Associate Dean Lily Faulhaber, Anne's student Alexander Lowe, and Anne's husband Paul Serritella spoke, movingly and well. We were also honored to have Anne's mother, sisters, aunt, and friends with us. The Anne Fleming Classroom is the site for faculty meetings, and so the Law Faculty will regularly have occasion to reflect on her and her legacy.
