Abstract
If the legal academy had a Hall of Fame, Frank Allen would surely be a first ballot, unanimous selection.\u27 His nominators need only recite the bare-bones record of his career-his publications, his public service, his years of accomplished teaching, and the many honors he received. That record is neatly capsulized in an obituary, published in the Gainesville Sun, largely written by Frank and June\u27s son, Neil (Neil was also Franks\u27s coauthor on Frank\u27s last publication2). In a concise, precise fashion, reminiscent of Frank\u27s own writings, the obituary not only describes Frank\u27s many accomplishments, but also touches upon his character and significance
