Peter Stuart Britell

Peter had a younger brother, Jonathan who looked like Howdy Doody as a kid. He entered the look alike contest and I believe he won. I think he is a physician, perhaps living on the West Coast, but I have lost track of him.

I knew Peter since he was 5 years old. He was my neighbor and classmate in school. His mother was our cub scout Leader. They had two cats: Buttons and Bows. Peter was noticeably bright even when he was a single digit age. Peter was a great guy.

I had him a Professor during my LL.M. program. He was a great Professor and really cared about his students. At the time, I had been practicing law for over a decade and I could tell how great a lawyer he was. He really made an impact on me.

Peter was my mentor when I first started practicing law back in 1999-2002. He was a steady and guiding force for young attorneys. During a time when mentorship by law firm partners was limited, he always took the time to answer questions and welcome new ideas. Even beyond the law, I learned a great deal from him about work-life priorities and giving back to society. He was a great man who will be missed by many.

Peter was a great addition to the LeBoeuf firm when he joined from Lord Day. Highly intelligent, cultivated, it is a pity that so few of today´s lawyers measure up to him!
