Joan M. Fitzpatrick, 1950-2003
Updated May 7, 2004.
The University of Washington Law
School community is saddened by the loss of our friend and colleague,
Joan Fitzpatrick who died on May 16, 2003. Our thoughts and sympathies
extend to Joan's son Devin, to her family and to the many friends she
had around the globe.
A member of our faculty since 1984, Professor Fitzpatrick was a brilliant teacher, internationally renowned scholar and an admired colleague. She dedicated her life to improving human rights around the world. We will all miss her powerful voice and presence.
As each of us tries to deal with this shocking news, we have encouraged members of our community to take time to talk with each other and to celebrate Joan's life and achievements. We hope that those of you reading this message will do the same as a first step toward healing our selves and continuing the work Joan so dedicated her life pursuing.
The Fitzpatrick family has not yet determined funeral arrangements or made memorial designations. As we learn of their wishes, we will communicate those details to you on this web page. The University of Washington Law School community held a memorial service on June 3, 2004.
