At a memorial service for Harvard Law great Victor Brudney, a visiting professor at BC Law from 1994 to 2007 who passed away April 14, 2016 at the age of ninety-eight, Professor Kent Greenfield paid this tribute:

“Victor’s legacy as a scholar is immense. Those of us in his field will be building on his work for decades to come. Victor’s legacy as a teacher is vast. Thousands of attorneys throughout the world are where they are in part because of him. But Victor’s legacy as a human being, as a man, is greater than either. For those of us who knew him, we channel him when we are kind, when we are humble. We honor his memory when we are unassuming, when we are hard-working, and when we are tough.”
