Professor Lawyer was my professor at SBCC and had a deep impact on my learning. I was trying to figure out how to be a student, had almost failed out of high school, and Lawyer’s classes were rigorous and challenging but so stimulating that I learned how to learn from him, found my way to NYU and then Harvard Divinity School, and then here to Princeton as a dean in the Office of Religious Life. I am so saddened by his death, and yet am joyous to know that his impact was so great.
