Subject: Your Presentation on the Professional
Responsibility Panel

Dear Lish,

Last night I looked at the tape of the panel you were on at the Technology, Values and the Justice System conference. During the conference, I had to move between sessions and wasn't able to catch more than little of your presentation.

This note is because I had to go further with you than the form thank you we sent out to all the presenters, although the content of that was certainly quite sincere.

The entire panel was terrific -- knowledgeable, concerned, interesting, thoughtful and stimulating. It was a classic piece, and should be used instructionally. If you'd like a copy, I can arrange that. You, however, were spectacular. Your bringing in the words and spirit and history of Martin Luther King and Fred Gray, and your own passionately held values was very special and very right and went deeper than the intellect. Thank you so much for that -- it's what I hoped the conference would be about.

For the almost thirty years I've known you, -- through various aspects of your career and your life -- you have consistently been a person of high principle and values. You've not just spoken the words, you've delivered the actions -- and further, you've lived your life -- each breath -- consistent with those principles and values. After almost 30 years, I remain very proud to know you.

Donald Horowitz
