UM Law School mourns the loss of Professor Robert Waters, who passed away on Monday, September 2, 2002 after a long illness. Since joining the faculty 30 years ago, Professor Waters was an integral part of the Law School--an outstanding teacher and mentor to countless students, and a superb academic and treasured faculty member. Waters was active in the work of NAACP, neighborhood legal services, and other organizations concerned with helping minorities and the poor. He directed the James Weldon Johnson Summer Institute at the Law School. Condolences may be sent to Professor Waters' widow, Christine Gilbert Waters, c/o Office of the Dean of Students, University of Miami School of Law, P.O. Box 248087, Coral Gables, FL 33124-8087, which will forward them to her. She has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations in his memory be made to the James Weldon Johnson Summer Institute at the Law School. The Law School will plan a memorial service for Professor Waters at the Law School. Details will be announced here.
