In memoriam: David Lipsky

I am sharing the very sad news that Prof. David Lipsky of Cornell University, luminary in the world of labor and employment ADR and personal mentor to me earlier in my career, passed away last week at the age of 83. His obituary describes his many achievements both in our field and for Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations.  I had the distinct pleasure of guest-lecturing in his class many years ago, and he provided me with valuable advice about teaching and writing in the ADR sphere. May he rest in peace.

  1. Thanks Jill. David Lipsky really was a wonderfully inspiring man. I can’t say I knew him well. Indeed, I wish I had been able to spend more time and learn from him more. But, every time we interacted at panels or conferences I felt uplifted and that I had learned a great deal from him.
