Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american legal scholar (1934-2018). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

The linked authority identifier is Q6504222. VIAF identifies the subject as 19285526.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
