Pitt mourns Heidt

The University of Pittsburgh has announced the death of commercial law teacher Kathryn Heidt , who died May 24 from complications surrounding heart surgery.  She was only 51.

“We have lost a valued colleague and friend,” said Amy Boss (Temple), who worked with Heidt on a variety of projects over the years. Heidt, who earned her J.D. at Cleveland State and an LL.M. at Yale, was probably best known as the author of Environmental Obligations in Bankruptcy, the standard work on the subject.
