Dear Members of the SCU High Tech Law Community,
Long-time law faculty member and Professor Emeritus Howard Anawalt died August 6 peacefully at home in his sleep. Professor Anawalt joined Santa Clara University School of Law in 1967 and was one of the first faculty members to specialize in the legal questions arising out of the high tech industry. He remained an active scholar and member of the Law School community even after he retired in 2003. Howard held a passion for teaching and a commitment to his profession which resonated with generations of students in his decades of service to the law school and the University community. He will be remembered as a kind and generous person who never hesitated to offer assistance to his students and colleagues.
“The High Tech Law Institute remains incredibly grateful for Prof. Anawalt’s many foundational contributions to our program,” said Prof. Eric Goldman, Director of the High Tech Law Institute. “Our high tech law program would not be as rich and successful as it’s been without his foresighted efforts. On a personal note, Prof. Anawalt shared his 1994 Computer Law syllabus with me when I first developed my own Internet Law course in 1995, and his thoughts influenced my concepts about the course a lot.”
If you would like to send condolences, notes may be sent to his wife, Sue, care of the Law School:
