1952

A note from Weyman Lundquist advises of the recent publication of The Litigation Manual: Jury Trials, which Wey coedited with Alyson Pytte '82. The book is the latest in a series of anthologies on facets of litigation practice originally published in Litigation, the magazine of the litigation section of the American Bar Association (ABA). Wey's coediting chores, which were conducted exclusively in cyberspace with Pytte, a resident of Alaska, included the rewriting of several articles of which he had been the original author.

Wey's affiliation with the section of litigation—now the largest field-of-practiceoriented section of the ABA—goes back several decades. He was one of the sections founders and later served as its chairman. His leadership role in the section was but one part of a wide-ranging, multifaceted career in the law, as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts and Alaska and then for more than 30 years as partner in the San Francisco firm of Heller Ehrman. Throughout the years he has been deeply involved in pro bono activities, most notably leading for more than 15 years the ABAs efforts at opening and maintaining dialogue with the Soviet, and subsequently, Russian legal system.

In 1993 Wey returned to Hanover, where he became affiliated with the Colleges Dickey Center for International Understanding. He presently is a senior fellow in the centers Institute of Arctic Studies, where his current project is working and lecturing on the legal aspects of the changes that global warming is inflicting upon the region. The extent to which the new, and perhaps to be lamented, accessibility of the Arctic can be governed by international treaties and laws created when the region was viewed as being as remote and desolate as the moon is, to me at least, an intriguing subject of inquiry.

Without doubt there are other members of our class who, like Wey, are actively pursuing forward-looking endeavors. I'm sure the rest of us would like to hear about and perhaps be inspired by them. So get in touch.
