Edward H. Hunvald Jr. ’50

Professor emeritus at the University of Missouri School of Law, Ed died June 27, 2015, in Columbia, Mo., after a battle with Parkinson’s disease.

He came to Princeton from Ramsay High School in Birmingham, Ala. Ed majored in the Woodrow Wilson School, played in the band and orchestra, and was a member of Whig-Clio.

After Princeton he entered Harvard Law School, earning a degree in 1953. During an Army tour that followed, Ed first served as a legal clerk in Georgia, then spent two years on the staff and faculty of the Judge Advocate General’s School in Charlottesville, Va. After his service, Ed returned to Harvard in 1956 as a teaching fellow and moved to the Missouri School of Law a year later.

During his distinguished, 50-year career at Missouri, Ed trained several generations in the fields of criminal law, criminal procedure, and evidence. Outside the classroom he served on committees to revise the Missouri Criminal Code, to write criminal-law questions for the national bar examination, and to advise Missouri judges on instructing juries in criminal cases.

Ed is survived by Kay, his wife of 61 years; his daughter, Sarah; and two grandchildren.
