Tribute
Frederic L. Ballard Jr. C’39, L’42
 A
lifelong member of Philadelphia law firm Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll,
Frederic Lyman Ballard Jr. C’39, L’42 died in March of this year. Mr.
Ballard was an expert in corporate law and renowned for his broad skills
as an advisor to corporate leaders as well as in the courtroom. As a student,
he was Case Editor of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review and was
a member of the Order of the Coif. From 1966-1968, and again from 1974-1979
Mr. Ballard was a member of the Law School’s Board of Overseers, which
he chaired from 1977-1979. His family boasts a proud tradition of Penn
Law graduates: his grandfather Ellis Ames Ballard C’1881, L’1883, who
founded the firm in the 19 th century; his father, Frederic Lyman Ballard
C’09, L’12; brothers John Ames Ballard C’45, L’48, Francis Ballard L’49,
and Augustus S. Ballard C’44, L’48. Mr. Ballard is survived by his wife
Ernesta Ballard, his children Sophie B. Bilezikian MD, Ernesta, and Alice,
nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Robert H. Malis C’41,
L’47
Formerly a senior litigation partner of Mesirov Gelman Jaffe Cramer &
Jamieson of Philadelphia, Robert H. Malis C’41, L’47 died in May of this
year in Florida. Mr. Malis was in practice with his father, David S. Malis,
and brother, Richard B. Malis L’40 until 1984 when their firm merged with
Mesirov Gelman. A member of the Order of the Coif, Mr. Malis was the quintessential
Penn Law volunteer, contributing hours and energy as a Firm Solicitor,
Agent for the Class of 1947, Chair of Class Reunions, and as a spirited
leader of the Law School’s Annual Phonathon team. His wife Phyllis Wasserman
Malis CW ‘44, and their children Dr. Charles Malis C ‘72 and Susan Malis
Yoskin survive him. In 1994, he said he would “never forget the experience”
of standing on the stage of Philadelphia’s Academy of Music to hand a
Penn Law diploma to his granddaughter, Mindy Yoskin Kubs L’94, now an
attorney in Southeast Florida.
