In Memoriam:

Lee M. Simpson, A Tribute to Judge Irving L. Goldberg, 73 TEX. L. REV. 981 (1995).

Judge Goldberg is remembered for the two thousand cases he participated in, the eight hundred opinions he wrote, and the style and grace he added to the writings of three judge and per curiam panels. More importantly, he is remembered as a tremendous influence on the people he knew. As a result, he improved the courts and the law. Simpson remembers that “he genuinely liked and truly respected colleagues of all points of view on the court . . .” and recalls his “fanatical concern about judicial integrity and the reality and appearance of propriety.” These habits of his made him a stellar judge and an object of admiration and respect.
