About the author
Robert W. Hamilton was an American legal scholar best known for his work in corporations, partnerships, and related areas of business law. He studied at Swarthmore College and earned his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School before building a long academic career.
He joined the University of Texas School of Law in 1964 and taught there for four decades, later holding the Minerva House Drysdale Regents Chair in Law. Colleagues and former students remembered him as a gifted teacher as well as a prolific writer whose casebooks, treatises, and study aids became standard resources in legal education.
Hamilton died in 2018. His reputation rests not only on scholarship, but also on the clarity and practicality of his writing, which made complex areas of corporate law far easier to approach.
