I am particularly sad to report the passing of my young colleague John Hunter Tart after a very brief illness. Hunter was a visiting assistant professor at Drexel Law, having joined us just this past August. He was a brilliant mathemetician who, after completing his M.S. at Stanford, chose to redirect his career toward law. He graduated from NYU Law, clerked for Judges John Koetl (SDNY) and Pauline Newman (Fed. Cir.), and joined Drexel immediately thereafter. He had an incredibly deep knowledge of intellectual property law and was a quiet, kind soul. Hunter's passing was entirely unexpected and particularly heart wrenching. He was 38.
Update: I have been receiving inquiries about the memorial service. Details are here.
