In Memoriam: 

David W. Robertson, Alvin Rubin’s Last Dissent, 70 Texas L. Rev. 7 (1991).

Abstract:

Professor Robertson chooses to honor the memory of Judge Rubin by recalling Judge Rubin’s mentoring when Professor Robertson was a student at L.S.U. Law School.  He recalls that Judge Rubin was a dedicated teacher who always had time to talk with and give advice to his students.  Professor Robertson then shifts topics and recounts Judge Rubin’s last dissent.  He is complimentary of the sharp, but not acrimonious, dissent, which rightly criticized a poor opinion from his fellow Fifth Circuit judges.
