In preparing for its Centennial Celebration Symposium, the Stetson Law Review contacted Paul E. Raymond in Fall 1999 and asked him to submit an essay about his years as dean. Dean Raymond agreed to provide pertinent information and requested that the Stetson Law Review editors convert the information he provided into an essay.
Dean Raymond died on December 3, 1999, just a few weeks after the Review received his answers to the initial questions. To honor and remember him, the Review decided to publish the questions and answers with only minor modifications. We believe that the answers give a truer sense of Dean Raymond and his years of service than we could convey in an essay. We have added some footnotes to provide pertinent information and to put some of Dean Raymond’s comments into historical context.
