David Lieberman

Bio/CV: 

A poignant remembrance of David Lieberman, written by fellow Berkeley Law professor and legal historian Christopher Tomlins, has been published in The Docket, the electronic supplement of Law & History Review. Lieberman, who died in a tragic hiking accident on Sept. 10, 2022, was a revered educator, eminent scholar, and trusted colleague who received numerous honors and fellowships.  He joined Berkeley Law’s faculty in 1984, chaired several of its committees, served as associate dean of the school’s Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program, and took emeritus status on July 1. In his remembrance, Tomlins recalls “how much good David left behind him, and how much those he left might gain from his example, if we try.”
