Prof. Harold Berman, Law and Religion Pioneer, Dies

Professor Harold J. Berman, a pioneer in the teaching of law and religion, died yesterday. The 89-year old professor taught for many years at Harvard Law School, and then moved to Emory Law School where he helped develop its law and religion program. Harvard Law School issued a release eulogizing Berman, whose expertise also extended to comparative, international, and Soviet law. Emory's website includes a bibliography of Berman's many books, articles and other writings. [Thanks to Patrick S. O'Donnell for the lead.]
