JULIA C. MACK

Gone, but certainly not forgotten, the lessons I learned as one of Judge Mack´s two first law clerks have been passed on to thousands of students in my law classes and attendees at my presentations over the years. Her keen intellect, insight, kindness, patience, willingness to stand steadfast for what was right in the face of opposition and her ready laughter are all traits that have stayed with me since she hired me in 1975.

As one of Judge Mack's two clerks she hired upon ascending the bench in 1975, and as one who kept in touch with her over the years, I am truly and deeply saddened by her death. What I learned at her feet is inestimable. Losing Judge Mack is truly the loss of a national treasure.

Julia is a leading woman in America. I hope the wonderful memories she created with you, her loved ones, will comfort you now and in the coming future. I admired here greatly and feel so honored to have known her. Sincerely, Marsha Teems Williams4
