Jerrold Van G. Cise ’32

Another eminent lawyer from our class, Jerry Van Cise died July 21 at the New London Hospital in New Hampshire, as a result of pneumonia that developed after a fall.

Having obtained his degree at Yale law school, Jerry went to work with the NYC firm of Cahill, Gordon & Reindel, retiring as senior partner in 1980. Jerry was nationally known as an expert on antitrust law, and he devoted many years to teaching the subject at the Practicing Law Institute in NYC and writing their two publications, Understanding the Antitrust Laws and How to Comply with the Antitrust Laws. He was past chairman of the antitrust law section of the American Bar Assn. and founder of the antitrust section of the New York State Bar Assn.

His great interest in life was to study how private enterprise should best operate in a free competitive economy.

Jerry is survived by two daughters, Dorothea V. Worthen and Elizabeth V. C. Harnisch, a son, Randolph G., and eight grandchildren, to all of whom the class offers its sincere condolences.
