Chapman law professor Katherine Darmer, an expert in criminal procedure, died in recent days. Story here. Her life took her through the halls of Princeton and Columbia University law school, then into the chambers of the Hon. Kimba Wood (S.D.N.Y.) and the Hon. William Timbers (2nd Cir.), followed by professional work at Davis Polk and the U.S. Attorney's Office (S.D.N.Y.). She joined the Chapman faculty in 2000.
Some remembrances can be found here.
This is sad and stunning news. Katherine was a year ahead of me in law school. I'm sorry that I didn't know her better; that was obviously my loss.
