Judge Robert Katzmann, one of the leading lights of the Second Circuit, died this week after a long illness. Those interested in justice for taxi drivers, will know Judge Katzmann as on the panel that decided Nnebe v. Daus. His expansive writings are noted by Reason magazine and by The New York Times, which called Judge Katzmann, which noted  the judge's "expansive, generous attitude, " saying, "Judge Katzmann brought to his work on the bench extended to his engagement with the people whose lives and futures were affected by his rulings. As the son of a refugee from Nazi Germany, Judge Katzmann was deeply aware of how destructive it can be for citizens to feel abandoned by the law."
