Statement of Kym L. Worthy on the Death of 36th District Court Judge Willie Lipscomb, Jr.
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Judge Lipscomb this morning. I met him when I was a law student at the University of Notre Dame. He is the sole reason that I joined the Prosecutor's Office in 1984, and he helped guide my entire career. He was a mentor to several decades of Notre Dame African American law students and had a profound impact on many lawyers. He had a passion for the law, he was committed to the community and was generous with his time and wisdom. The legal community will miss him, and I will miss him terribly.
