WILLIAM "BILL" RECKLING COTTER

I was one of Bill´s students for many years- including this past January- when he taught his Supreme Court course for the adult education center on Longboat Key, Florida. He always greeted me by name - even when we were on zoom. In my 80 years I have been exposed to many teachers, but very few could measure up to Bill. Although I had no law background, his course taught me how to think in new ways and to respect minority opinions! Thank you, Bill. My very sincere condolences to his family,...

I never knew Bill personally but I greatly appreciated his classes on Supreme Court decisions and attended several of them. He will be missed.
