"In March 1994, I joined his seminar class, Current Issues in Racism in the Law. There were 15 of us. One hot day he taught the class sitting under a tree. It was this easy-going style that made him one of the most popular lecturers at the university. Some claimed he was a bit too diplomatic, and would sit on the fence with some issues, but I never found this to be true. He always encouraged students to challenge everything , to stand up for what they believed in."
