  • Tribute to David Schuman
    HON. MARTHA LEE WALTERS* Tribute to David Schuman I. To Serve the Law, We Must See Not Only Abstract General Legal Rules, but Also the Real People Who Occupy Them ..... 4 II. To Serve the Law, We Must Beware of Two Professional Dangers—Perversion of Power and Coldness of Heart ............ 7 III. To Serve the Law, We Must Forge a Public Life Worth Living ........................................................................................ 9 n a law school commencement address, Judge David Schuman told I the graduates that, as Dante proceeded through Hell and Purgatory to Heaven, he was accompanied by a teacher, Virgil. But Dante had referred to Virgil not as a teacher but as an authority. Judge Schuman explained that, to Dante, an authority was someone whose example enlightened and enabled. David Schuman served that role for me. David was born and grew up in Chicago. As a youth, he was a speed skater; he later became an English professor, and then a lawyer. And, by the time he gave his commencement address, David was both a judge and a law professor. In that address, Judge Schuman proposed three principles: that to serve the law, we must see not only abstract general rules, but also the real people who occupy them; that we must beware of two professional dangers—perversion of power and coldness of heart; and that we must forge a public life worth living. David lived by those principles. We referred to David as the Shoe; we did so because he walked through life in those truths, abiding by those * Martha Lee Walters was elected by her colleagues as Oregon’s 44th Chief Justice and began service on July 1, 2018.
