Editor’s Note: Louis H. Pollak, who before becoming a federal judge played a significant role in major civil rights cases before the Supreme Court, died recently at his home in Philadelphia at age 89. The author of this article, a partner at Wiggin and Dana in New Haven, clerked for Judge Pollak in 1998-1999.
Judge Louis H. Pollak died two weeks ago. The law will remember him as that rarest of birds: a lawyer whose practice challenged and changed our democracy, an academic who led not just one but two of the nation’s leading law schools, and a venerated federal judge. Those of us who knew him will remember him as much more.
