Originally from Pro-Arbitration Revisited: A Tribute to Professor George Bermann from his Students Over the Years

It is a happy fact of life that, occasionally, some law professors are so brilliant, inspiring, and passionate about their craft that, unbeknownst to them, their influence and legacy extend far beyond their academic and creative output stricto sensu. A list of publications or a CV, howsoever extensive, simply cannot capture and do justice to their far-reaching impression on the young minds of legions of law students. Professor George Bermann is the quintessence of just such a law professor.

He has inspired, trained, and shaped generations of international arbitration lawyers—myself included—many of whom are now plying the trade at the highest echelons of governments, law firms, multinational companies, and universities across the globe.
