Another Marty story, since I’m reminiscing.

He was a great teacher and practitioner. But most unique among tax lawyers, he was genuinely funny. The speech he gave to the ABA upon receiving a lifetime achievement award is well worth the read:

Martin Ginsburg taught tax law at my law school. Every story I ever heard about him was a positive one. He was apparently a delight to study with, a delight to his colleagues, and generally considered to be one of the best professors there.
