Karl Llewellyn was perhaps the most influential intellectual ever associated with Columbia's law school. He was one of the standard bearers of the legal realism movement, and later brought his philosophy to bear on the Universal Commercial Code, which he drafted.
Llewellyn joined the Columbia faculty in 1925 and left in 1951, eeking out the rest of his life unproductively at UChicago. He was married to fellow Columbia professor and alum Soia Mentschikoff, who blazed paths for women in law.
