The community of the University of Alabama School of Law has received the devastating news that two of its members, Liz Whipple, the interim director of the school's Domestic Violence Clinic, and Shelly Darling, a staff attorney in the school's Elder Law Clinic, were found dead in Lake Tuscaloosa on Saturday morning. Their deaths are believed to have been accidental. Our thoughts are with the families of the two women.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I knew Liz well when she was a student and was really proud to hear she was back teaching in Tuscaloosa. This is devastating.

I also knew Liz well as a student at Alabama, and she was a wonderful person. I am deeply saddened.
