Harvard Law Professor Daniel Meltzer passed away from cancer this weekend. He was 63. Meltzer joined the Harvard faculty in 1982, playing several roles in the faculty and administration, and also served in the Obama administration. He had been scheduled to take over from Lance Liebman as the Director of the American Law Institute in 2014, but never was able to fully take on the job due his illness.

His work has been an inspiration to me and I'm sure hundreds of others over the years. He made such an impact in the world, in the academy, and on the legal profession. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace, Professor.
