Raymond Goetz, 77, died May 2.
Goetz was a law professor at KU for 21 years.
Born in Rockford, Ill., Goetz served in the U.S. Navy during
World War II as an aviator. He came to KU as a visiting professor

he had been a partner in the firm of Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather
and Geraldson. He received his J.D. in 1950 from the University
of Chicago, where he was associate editor of the Law Review.
Goetz, who was referred to in The Official Lawyer's Handbook
as one of the few "recognized masters" of the Socratic
method, taught contracts and labor law, plus a seminar on advanced
labor law and labor arbitration. His article on secondary boycotts
in the University of Kansas Law Review became a widely cited
classic.
From 1979 to 1984, Goetz served as baseball's sixth permanent
arbitrator on grievances. He also served as permanent umpire
for Ford Motor Company and the United Auto Workers.
Goetz retired from KU at the close of the 1986-87 academic year.
