Professor Lani Guinier
Sherrilyn Ifill I first met Lani Guinier in the summer of 1988. She was distracted. It was understandable. She was just weeks away from her departure from the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), and on her way to begin her academic career at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Remembering Lani Guinier
When Professor Lani Guinier passed away earlier this month, the announcements focused on the signal events in her life: her litigation as an LDF attorney of landmark voting rights cases, her shepherding through the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act, the right-wing attack that caused President Clinton to pull her nomination to head the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department, and her appointment as the first tenured black woman to the faculty of the Harvard Law School.
