law students of Claude Hawthorn Woods , Illinois

We were both law students at John Marshall in the late 80's and had the wonderful opportunity of having Claude as our Real Estate Law Professor. Claude also was instrumental in helping Cathy get into JMLS. We are forever grateful for his friendship during that time, and his great teaching of the law. We are sad that he has passed. Please know that he touched our lives in a wonderful way and he will be remembered.

He was a teacher, mentor and good friend to me and my classmates in the class of1969. Those feelings and attributes continued beyond graduation. I am saddened by his passing.

Without question, Professor Carr embodied all the wonderful qualities of a lawyer and teacher. His brilliance for teaching coupled with his sincere compassion for those of us going through the excruciating law school experience helped me and many others through those difficult years. I will always be grateful that I had Professor Carr as both a teacher and mentor and offer my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones on his passing. RIP Professor Carr!

I have such wonderful memories of Mr. Carr. Super smart, engaging, entertaining, sharp and witty both inside and outside the classroom. He made 1L almost bearable and the rule against perpetuities almost understandable. What a class act! My best to his son/family/friends as he will be missed.

In anyone's lifetime, one would be glad to hold a few persons in a special place of honor and respect. Those persons are the people who guided us to our higher goals. Claude was one of those few. Open, inquisitive, intelligent, humorous,wise. My condolences to his family and friends. I hope that his memory becomes a source of strength to all who have known him.

You will be missed, Prof. Carr. I'll never forget your wonderful stories about the "old South" and the bathing wagons that took Southern ladies right into the lake so that they could descend gracefully into the water without revealing too much of their bathing suits. haha You were simply the best teacher ever. Living in Florida now, I've shared that story with friends who actually had relatives who did that. You really made property law come alive. I know you're happy now and looking down on us from a better place. I hope we've made you proud.

Professor Carr was truly a gentleman and scholar and inspiration. Since graduating in 1985 and practicing real estate law all these years I often got a chuckle remembering some of Claude’s quips working on a case. Rest In Peace Professor.

Claude Carr was my favorite professor at JMLS. More importantly he convinced me to stay with my path at Marshall at a time when I didn't think I would make it in the mid '70's I recently retired after forty years in practice. God bless Claude Carr.

One of the best., even in his earlier years. We were fortunate to have Claude as a Professor and mentor . I fondly remember the parties he gave for his students - the only JMLS professor to do so. He truly cared.

James E Shadid January 13, 2018

Student at JMLS 1980-1983 Peoria , Illinois

I had Professor Carr for property first year at JMLS. He was witty, engaging and interested in us excelling. One day he stood me up and asked me a question. I answered yes or no (I can’t remember except that was not enough) He expected yes with reasoning or no with reasoning. I obviously didn’t know the answer. He said “Don’t be so cryptic Mr. Shadid” I didn’t know what that meant either so I turned to my friend Devich, seated beside me and asked Devich, “what does cryptic mean”? Professor Carr, obviously aware that I had no clue simply indicated with his hand and said “Sit down Mr. Shadid”. I have told that story 100’s of times to law students and lawyers. He was a good man. My condolences.
