Upon receiving the news of Professor
Blackwell's death, Chicago-Kent Dean Harold J. Krent issued the

"Professor Thomas Blackwell was a talented teacher and
scholar who was respected by both our faculty and our students.
His innovative work focused on integrating technology into law practice
and the classroom. His death represents a tragic loss to the legal
community and to his many friends and colleagues here at Chicago-Kent.
We extend our deepest sympathy to Professor Blackwell's family and
to our colleagues at Appalachian School of Law."
