Saul Touster was a law professor early in his academic career at the SUNY-Buffalo Law School where he was known as a fantastic teacher and a prolific scholar. I worked with him on several projects when he was a professor at CUNY in New York City, Saul was bright, energetic and a general counsel to humanity. May he rest in peace.

Saul Touster was a fine scholar and a veteran teacher. I made contact with him in the 1990's, when I was working on Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and found in his earlier writing on Holmes an eminently thoughtful, sensible analysis of that puzzling intellect. I had not kept in touch; I wish that I had. He had a good mind and a humane outlook, and I wish I knew more about his service in the Pacific.
