Thank you for your faith in me, Professor Lewis. We miss you. Rest in peace!

I did not spend as many years with Hope as many of my colleagues, so I don't have many memories to share. But I will say that with a single e-mail, written during a time that she did not come into the law school, she conveyed such positive energy, warmth, and conviction that she helped me moved forward. She was truly extraordinary, and I know that she will be missed by many.

One of the most phenomenal professors, it was truly an honor to be her research assistant and to read her fabulous textbook.



From: Susan Yanow Friday, December 9, 2016
I served with Hope on the Board of the ACLU of Massachusetts, where her wisdom and clear vision shaped so much of my thinking. The inspiration she leaves will always be a treasure.



From: Shalanda Baker Thursday, December 8, 2016
I had my first conversation about law teaching with Hope Lewis. She inspired me to teach and speak truth to power. I light this candle in your memory.
