Saúl Litvinoff passed away early Tuesday morning. Besides teaching almost every lawyer who graduated from LSU Law Center from 1965 to last year, he was the secretary for revisions to the Louisiana civil code, fluent in a half a dozen languages and a great mentor to many who passed through those halls, including me.
This was my favorite exchange during one of his classes:
Litvinoff: "If you swear, will you go to jail?"
Student: "No, I don't believe so, sir."
Litvinoff: "Yes, you won't go to jail, you'll go to hell, but not jail."
He will truly be missed.
Saúl Litvinoff, 1925-2010.
