Rowling, who cited Jessica asher main literary influence, named her Harry Potter houseelf “Dobby” after seeing Dobby Walker’s name in Jessica’sbooks. On a recent visit to her home, Doris showed me theDobby references in works by Jessica on her bookshelf.Doris frequently called me with her concerns and opinionsabout the issues of the day and in the Guild. Two and ahalf months before her death, Doris enjoyed dim sum withher family and friends at her 90th birthday party.Doris “Dobby” Walker inspired generations of progressivelawyers, law students and legal workers to struggle unrelentinglyfor justice and equality. She was a friend, comradeand role model to scores of people in and out of the Guild.We will never see the likes of her again.Doris is survived by her daughter, Emily Roberson, andher granddaughter, Iris Feldman. Doris requested that contributionsin her name be sent to the National Lawyers Guild,132 Nassau St., Room 922, New York, NY 10038. □National Committees, Projects & Task ForcesAmicus CommitteeZachary Wolfezwolfe@gwu.eduAnti-Racism CommitteeMike Flynnrmflynn79@gmail.comAnti-Sexism CommitteeKerry McLeankerrymclean@gmail.comCommittee on Corporations, the Constitutionand Human RightsWard Morehouseward.morehouse@gmail.comDisability Rights CommitteeAaron Frishbergfrishberga@aol.comDrug Policy CommitteeShaleen Aghishaleen@gmail.comSteven Gotzlersteven.gotzler@gmail.comEnvironmental Justice CommitteeJoel Kupfermanenvjoel@ix.netcom.comInternational CommitteeJeanne Mirermirerfam@earthlink.netLabor and Employment CommitteeDean Hubbarddeanhub@gmail.comPolly Halfkennypolly.halfkenny@ranknfile-ue.orgLegal Workers CommitteeSusan Howardnlgnyc@igc.orgLitigation CommitteeBill Goodmanbgoodman@goodmanhurwitz.comMass Defense CommitteeMara Verheyden-Hilliardmvh@justiceonline.orgCarol Sobelcarolsobel@aol.comMilitary Law Task ForceJames BranumKathleen Gilberdinfo@mltf.infoNext Generation CommitteeJ.
