Kenneth Wang

WANG--Kenneth, died peacefully in his home, in Cove Neck, on December 14th, surrounded by his family. He was born in China in 1914. He was the beloved husband of Mary, and cherished father of Anthony, Charles and Francis and their wives, Lulu, Nancy and Laura. He was much beloved by his seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was also the much loved brother of Hsiang-Ming Hsia.

He graduated from Soochow University School of Law in 1938. He practiced law in Shanghai until 1945 when he was recruited to be a judge of the Court of Appeals for Shanghai. In 1947 he was awarded a fellowship by Harvard University School of Law where he earned an LLM degree. He returned to China in 1948 to resume his law practice and to teach at Soochow University Law School. In 1949 he became President of Aurora College for Women. In 1952 Professor Wang and his family moved to the U.S. and he joined the faculty of St. John's University School of Law in New York City. He was invited to serve as Visiting Professor of Law at Michigan University Law School in 1963. In 1964 he was invited by President Lyndon B. Johnson to participate in the White House Conference on International Law and International Cooperation. In addition to his professorship at St. John's, he was also on the panel of Arbitrators of The American Arbitration Association. By the time he retired as Professor of Law at St. John's in 1984, he had taught and inspired generations of young lawyers and future leaders in business and government.

After his retirement from St. John's, Professor Wang became the senior partner of Wang and Wang in Taipei, a law firm specializing in transnational law. St. John's honored him in 1984 with the President's Medal, in 1987 with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree, and in 1992 with the Medal of Honor. In 2003, Soochow University honored him with the naming of the Kenneth Wang School of Law.

He will always be honored in the hearts of his family, friends and students. Services were private. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be sent to St. John's University School of Law, in support of the Kenneth Wang International Fellowship, at 8000 Utopia Parkway, Queens, NY 11439.
