Recollection of Robert Kennedy as a Lawyer

Marshall, Burke
Abstract
Robert Kennedy had become, by the time of his death, the wisest and most passionately dedicated political leader of his generation, at the same time both pragmatic and idealistic, deeply educated by experience and curiosity on the critical domestic and international crises of our time, with an unmatched understanding and acceptance of the weaknesses and virtues of people, whether important or unknown, and thus of the political process. Lawyers and law students should remember, however, that part of what made the man was his training and experience as a lawyer. It is altogether fitting that the Law Journal should dedicate a volume to Robert Kennedy, for he was, among many other things, a very good lawyer.
