My deep condolences to Robert Cole (my favorite evidence prof) and family. The remarks I made at the time I received the Eleanor Swift Award for Public Service in 2013 capture my memories of Eleanor:
"I am honored to accept an award named for Professor Swift. Eleanor is not just Swift. She's tenacious, but not loquacious. Gracious--not ostentatious. Whether fighting sexism in faculty hiring, jump starting the Boalt clinical program, co-founding the Henderson Centrr for Social Justice or safeguarding Cal students' due process rights. And speaking of naming, some of you may know that I was recently given the title John & Elizabeth *Boalt* Lecturer for my 20-plus years of teaching. I was a bit dubious about a designation with the name *Boalt* in it. I mean references to "Boalt" have been all but banished as the result of a branding initiative some 5 years ago [and formal 'cancellation' since then], aside from some exceptions set out by the Dean--see supra Memo of April 24, 2008. I trust the same fate does not await the name Swift. It is a brand worth keeping."

Eleanor Swift was a class act. I had the privilege of serving as co-counsel in her battle for tenure battle at UC, and I feel honored to have participated in her fight to obtain the tenured status that she richly deserved. May she rest in peace.
