Featured Obituary:

David S. Ruder, dean of Northwestern University School of Law from 1977 to 1985 and former chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), died February 15. He was 90 years old.
Ruder, a brilliant leader and the William W. Gurley Memorial Professor of Law Emeritus, joined the Northwestern Law faculty in 1961. As dean he helped plan the construction of the Rubloff Building and the remodeling of Levy Mayer and McCormick Halls, and he recruited several distinguished scholars to join the Law School faculty. He also led a $25 million Law School capital campaign and helped persuade the American Bar Association and the American Bar Foundation to move their headquarters to the Rubloff Building.
“David took such delight and pride in the Law School,” said Kimberly Yuracko, dean of Northwestern Pritzker Law. “For me personally, he was a dear friend, mentor and advisor. David welcomed me with warmth and kindness when I joined our faculty and was always generous with his time, wisdom and support.”
A leading scholar in corporate and securities law, Ruder taught courses in enforcement, insider trading, tender offers and other regulatory topics, writing some of his earliest scholarly papers on insider trading issues and becoming known as an expert on the SEC’s antifraud rules.

Ruder became Professor of Law Emeritus on Sept. 1, 2005, and continued to teach at the Law School through the academic year 2016-2017. He was the author of many papers and articles in the area of corporate and securities law, testified before Congress 45 times, and made more than 600 speeches and public appearances. He participated as a committee chairman or member in the preparation of 12 substantive public policy securities and corporate law reports.
“The thing about David Ruder is that you always knew he had his eye on the ball, the goal being building — and not just literally — the honesty and strength of our legal education, while preparing students, and insisting from our community that the highest professional standards be upheld,” said friend and office companion Leigh Bienen, a senior lecturer at Northwestern Pritzker Law.
