Description
In 1969, I was brought to Cleveland and Case Western Reserve Law School in Cleveland, Ohio, to be its first full-time faculty member offering courses in the international law area. At the time the subject area was viewed by many (including the occasional colleague) as cosmopolitan fluff ranking somewhere between the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. Hence, like the motto of my college alma mater, Dartmouth, "Vox Clamantis in Deserto," I felt in that first year like a voice crying in the wilderness. Then along came Henry. Henry King at the time was the International Corporate Counsel at TRW, which was headquartered in Cleveland. He was one of the few people I met that year who not only believed in the Tooth Fairy, he gave it teeth. Henry had practiced it in the public sphere (his extraordinary and well-documented experiences at Nuremberg following World War II) as well as in the private international business sector. He had already served as Chair of the ABA's prestigious International Law Section, no mean feat. In those early days, Henry was therefore one of the few people in Cleveland to whom I could turn when I felt the need for shoulder-cry sessions, and more substantive discussion and feedback on international law and international trade issues.
