In Memoriam

Professor, Former Dean Remembered

To generations of Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law graduates, J. Willard O’Brien will be remembered as a legendary Torts teacher with an impeccable sense of style—three-piece suits and a gold pocket watch—a twinkle in his eye, a wry sense of humor, and the Socratic method he used to train first-year students to think critically and speak precisely.

Dean O’Brien, who joined the Villanova Law faculty in 1965 and was unanimously chosen in 1972 to succeed Villanova Law’s founding dean, passed away peacefully at his home in Wayne, Pa., on Dec. 22, 2020. He was 90.

Under his 11-year tenure, Dean O’Brien distinguished himself as a leading voice for inclusiveness, and through his leadership the numbers of women and minoritized individuals enrolling as students and serving as professors and senior administrators increased significantly.

In 1983, he stepped down as dean and returned to full-time teaching. Following his retirement, he continued to participate at the University’s Inn of Court, an organization that promotes professionalism, civility, ethics and legal excellence, and is named in his honor.

“Dean O’Brien served our community as a memorable professor and a visionary dean, and he never stopped giving of himself to Villanova,” said Mark C. Alexander, the current Arthur J. Kania Dean at Villanova Law. “We are a better law school due to the myriad contributions of Dean O’Brien. His days on earth have ended, but his legacy and spirit remain in our community.”
