IN MEMORIAM: “PROFESSOR” GILBERT JEROME GINSBURG

Beside his signature large cowboy hat, Gil wore many other hats: judge, professor, director of the George Washington University Law School (GW Law) Government Contracts Program, law school dean, senior partner, business owner of the A-76 Institute, public speaker, prolific author in the Government Contracts and Federal Labor Standards fields, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. If you search for Gil's name in the Fair Labor Standards Act case law, you will see not only the cases that he litigated, but also numerous cites to our book under the rubric "Ginsburg et al." Many people saw that religious faith when they crossed paths with Gil in his extensive work for his Silver Spring, Maryland, community, his synagogue, and educational institutions. Besides his religious devotion, Gil liked to swim, and built a pool in his back yard, and covered it every winter with a hot air bubble. Gil's legacy includes so much: six children (and their five spouses), twentyseven grandchildren (and their eight spouses), and five great-grandchildren (and counting), all who adored him; his wife Faith who was an equal partner in Gil's amazing life and who cared for him unstintingly at the end; the stillused seminar manuals and publications that Gil authored in the Government Contracts and Federal Labor Standards fields; grateful students and attorneys; mentees (yes, it is word, not a breath mint); and much more.
