Scott A. Smith

My condolences to Mary Jane, to Scott´s entire family, and to Scott´s wide circle of friends and former colleagues. I was the first (or tied-for-first) associate hired at the dynamic new firm Scott co-founded, which was then known as Smith, Duggan & Johnson (fall 1990). As an associate and later partner of his, I can say he was a superb lawyer and even better mentor. I still draw on the lessons I learned from him about the law and legal practice, which tended to transcend law and applied to life in general. I´m deeply saddened by his passing and feel grateful to have been a colleague and mentee. Mark B. Rees
