Former Dean of Washington and Lee School of Law Dies
By Jim Vassallo
Former Washington and Lee University School of Law dean Roy Lee Steinheimer Jr., passed away on Thursday at the age of 98, according to a release from the school.
Steinheimer served as dean of the law school from 1968 to 1983 and was the Robert E.R. Huntley Professor of Law Emeritus at the school.
"Roy Steinheimer's deanship was a pivotal one for Washington and Lee's Law School," said W&L President Ken Ruscio. "He left a genuine legacy, and more than any other individual shaped the Law School that exists today. His contributions were profound, and we shall be forever grateful for his service and dedication to the University."
Nora V. Demleitner, the current dean of the law school and the Roy L. Steinheimer Jr. Professor of Law, said the following in the release:
"Dean Steinheimer made the Law School a truly national institution and provided it with a vision for teaching, scholarship and professional service. Personally, I consider it the greatest honor and a powerful responsibility to be the Steinheimer Professor. It is not only his vision as a dean but also his impact as a teacher that lives on through our graduates."
Steinheimer earned his law degree from the University of Michigan law School in 1940. He practiced law in New York City with Sullivan & Cromwell for 10 years prior to returning to the University of Michigan as a professor from 1950 to 1968.
Steinheimer remained Washington and Lee as a law professor after retiring from the dean’s post in 1983. He retired from the school in 1987. He worked as an adjunct professor from 1989 to 1999 despite his retirement.
Steinheimer’s main focus in law was the commercial aspect, working on the Uniform Commercial Code committees for the American and Michigan state bar associations. He was a member of the American Bar Association, the American Law Institute and the American Arbitration Association.
Sam Calhoun was the school’s associate dean in 2002. Calhoun said, "When he was playing pool with you, or golf, he could be perfectly one of the fellows. But as dean there was some distance there. I think that's the style of some gifted leaders."
Lewis LaRue was the Class of 1958 Alumni Professor of Law Emeritus in 2002. LaRue said, "He had the instincts of a builder. He came to the Law School with a vision, and he won support very quickly. The faculty trusted him to do what needed to be done. He was persuasive and impressive."
Steinheimer was nicknamed “The Sky Dean” due to his love of flying. He piloted a Beech Bonanza plane until he was 76-years-old.

Why?
Turns out Ron
Krivicich's medical condition was
preexisting
so
a refund was out of the question.
Anne
Krivicich said she'd asked Princess about
Ron's back problems.
"We
were assured that
we
could cancel for preexisting medical
conditions and receive a full refund,
minus the cost of the insurance,"
she says.
I contacted Princess
on behalf of the couple.
A cruise line
representative called
Anne
Krivicich and offered two options:
She could either
rebook her cruise within a year
or she could
receive a transferable voucher through her
insurance,
good for a future
Princess sailing.
She says it's unlikely the couple will be
able to use either offer.
"On average, most
insurance is technically a bad deal,"
says Jonathan Wu, the founder of,
an insurance review site.
That's particularly true of travel insurance,
he says.
And
he has the numbers to prove it.
Wu
reviewed the public filings
for
travel insurance companies and found
that many pay a little over half of their
premiums toward claims.
The rest of the money goes to commissions,
administrative costs,
taxes
and a profit margin.
One
filing,
which Wu found eye-opening,
disclosed
that 25 percent of a premium goes to
commissions.
In other words,
one quarter of every
dollar spent
got kicked back to a
travel agent
or Web site selling
the policy.
"It's no surprise
why these types of products
are actively
marketed at the point of sale," he says.
Those who
sell insurance see it differently.
Bobbie Rae
Murphy,
a
travel agent who specializes in cruise
and adventure travel in Maineville, Ohio,
says insurance commissions represent a
significant portion
of her
income - about 5 to 7 percent.
But she
views insurance as a win-win proposition:
a source
of revenue for her
and a valuable product that can save
someone's vacation,
if
not their life savings.
"Accidents happen," she says,
"and
they can bankrupt you.
I counsel
my clients so they can understand the
potential for issues,
then suggest
that for just a small amount of money,
I can give them
peace of mind."
But not all
insurance is created equal.
Like
many well-traveled industry colleagues
(including me),
Murphy
buys an annual plan for herself.
Those plans often cover the essentials,
including hospitalization,
medical evacuation,
trip
interruptions and car rentals.
Prospective travelers encounter other types
of "insurance"
that
are probably not worth the trouble.
Those can include
policies on rental equipment like skis, or
rental-car insurance that covers more than
damage to the vehicle.
