I am sorry to tell you the very sad news that our esteemed colleague and dear friend, Professor Margaret A. Berger, passed away this morning. Professor Berger was a cherished member of the faculty for over 35 years. She was revered by her students and was widely recognized as one of the nation's leading evidence scholars. She was instrumental in shaping the Federal Rules of Evidence and did pioneering work in the field of scientific evidence. Her influence on lawyers, judges and scholars was legendary. She authored or co-authored more than a dozen books, and 35 law review articles. She received many awards and honors for her work. Margaret was an extraordinary woman and a beloved friend. We will miss her dearly, but her legacy will be long enduring. We extend our deepest sympathy to her sons, Joshua and David, Class of 1989, and the entire family. The funeral service for Professor Berger will be tomorrow, Friday, at Riverside Chapel, 180 West 76th Street (Amsterdam and Columbus) at 11:15 a.m. Joan Joan G. Wexler |
