"He was an absolutely wonderful professor, who seemed to never be prepared for class," said Dean of the Law School Robert C. Clark, a 1972 Harvard law graduate who took Jaffe's first-year tort class.
Jaffe's most famous publication was Judicial Control of Administrative Action, completed in 1965.
Born in Seattle in 1905, Jaffe spent most of his youth in San Francisco. He graduated at the age of 19 from Johns Hopkins University and attended Harvard Law School, where he graduated third in his class in 1928.
Jaffe served as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.
Before his move to Harvard, Jaffe spent 14 years as a professor and later dean of the University of Buffalo School of Law.
