Victor Horsley Kramer, Antitrust and Public Interest Lawyer, Passed Away
Here’s from the Washington Post’s obituary:
Victor H. “Vic” Kramer, 93, an antitrust attorney who turned his back on a notable career with a Washington law firm to devote himself to public interest law and education, died Jan. 8 of acute respiratory failure at Sibley Memorial Hospital. … Mr. Kramer had been a Justice Department attorney for nearly 20 years before joining Arnold, Fortas & Porter (now Arnold and Porter) in 1957. A quintessential establishment lawyer, supremely capable and fearsomely confident, he shocked the local legal community when he decided to leave the firm in 1970 for public interest law. … In his memoir and in a later interview, Mr. Kramer said he left because corporate law practice “did not inspire me with a sense of accomplishment.” … In 1976, Mr. Kramer became a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. … He left Georgetown in 1981 to teach at the University of Minnesota Law School, where he remained a professor of law until his retirement in 1994.
