Glueck and Jaffe Given Law Chairs

The Law School promoted two of its professors to endowed chairs yesterday. Dean Griswold announced the appointments of Sheldon Glueck as the first Roscoe Pound Professor of Law and Louis L. Jaffe as new Byrne Professor of Administrative Procedure.

Glueck is an authority on criminal law and criminology, while Jaffe is an expert on administrative procedure.

Glueck's new post was established this fall in honor of Pound, who served for 20 years as dean of the Law School. Glueck joined the faculty in 1929 during Pound's administration.

Jaffe succeeds Milton Katz '27, who resigned the Byrne Professorship this summer to join the staff of the Economic Cooperation Administration permanently. Before coming here this fall, Jaffe was dean of the University of Buffalo law school.
