Julian had a long and varied career, primarily in academia and real estate. As he recounted in <a href=\"https:\/\/law.marquette.edu\/facultyblog\/2010\/08\/what-i-wish-i-had-known-when-i-started-law-school-part-i\/\">this blog post<\/a>, Julian went to law school because of his frustration as a developer in dealing with lawyers. Once in law school, though, he found that he was fascinated by the law as a field of study. Legal academia was so much to his liking, in fact, that he returned to it as a professor after graduation and a clerkship on the D.C. Circuit, joining the Georgetown faculty in 1970. Later, he practiced as a real-estate lawyer and then resumed his career as a developer.<\/p>\n<p>Julian could not resist the call of law-teaching indefinitely, though. In the 1990&#8217;s, he began a second career as a law professor, teaching at St. Thomas and Stetson in Florida, and then landing at Marquette in 2004. We were delighted to have him as a faculty colleague for the next decade. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Julian had a warm smile, a hearty laugh, and a treasure trove of colorful anecdotes from his professional work and extensive international travel. \u00a0One couldn&#8217;t leave a conversation with Julian untouched by his infectious good cheer.\u00a0Julian also impressed with his passionate commitment to teaching. He set high standards for students, and occasionally bemoaned how much &#8220;softer&#8221; legal education had become since his own time as a student in the 1960&#8217;s, but all of this reflected his sense of what would best prepare students for success in the practice of law.<\/p>\n<p>After his decade at Marquette, Julian returned for another stint at Georgetown, but remained in touch with a number of colleagues and former students in Milwaukee. It was a treat to see him when he returned for visits to Eckstein Hall. He will be missed by many in the Marquette Law School community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us on the Marquette Law School faculty were saddened to learn of the death earlier this month of Professor Julian Kossow.
