This article is a part of the Larry Ribstein: In Memoriam (1946-2011) symposium.
The world will be a different place without Larry Ribstein. I and many others know how generous he was with his time in mentoring students and junior scholars, a generosity that is precious for someone as prolific as Larry. When he shared feedback, he always insisted that a scholar give their best, as he did with everything he put to mind. When I think of what it means to be a legal scholar, in my head I will always have a picture of Larry Ribstein.
