Jim Harris (1940-2004)

A longish memorial notice appears in the Times of London here, which is, unfortunately, a subscriber service. From the opening paragraph:

“JIM HARRIS’S writings covered the broadest range of legal and jurisprudential interests. Blind from the age of four, he nonetheless rode and rowed at Oxford and taught at the London School of Economics before returning to Oxford to take up a fellowship at Keble College. He then won international fame as a scholar with a series of works on jurisprudence, precedent and property law which, plumbing his vast and rigorous knowledge of legal theory, became leading works in their fields.”
