On Academic Lawyers in the U.S. Government: Walter's Wisdom

Koh, Harold Hongju
Abstract
Walter Dellinger was one of the most effective lawyers ever to work in the United States government. He was also a natural mentor, which made him a source of joy and wisdom for generations. In remembering Walter, we should recall his wisdom regarding the difference between academic and government lawyers, the government lawyer's duty to explain, and the human qualities that, over a storied career, earn lawyers genuine affection and respect.
