Sad News From Tulane Law
I am saddened to publish this news from Tulane Law School.
Official Announcements from Tulane Law Administration
From: Larry Ponoroff, Dean
I am very sorry to have to inform everyone that Professor M. David Gelfand died in a drowning accident yesterday in Pensacola. I do not have any other information at this time. David has been a member of our faculty for nearly 30 years, and was the holder of the Phelps Chair in Constitutional Law. As you all know, he was a nationally respected expert in First Amendment rights and State & Local Government, and an active proponent of equal justice under the law. We are all deeply saddened by this loss and extend our heartfelt sympathies to David’s wife, Mary, and their daughter, Katie.
