Memory of Jeff Harris honored at Stanford Law School

Stanford Law School in California recently dedicated a structure to the memory of Jeff Harris of Mountain Brook. Harris lost his battle to colon cancer on December 2, 2010. He graduated from Stanford Law School, and last month, his wife, Anna, flew out to Palo Alto, Calif., where the Law School Class of 1993 dedicated this bridge in his memory.

The bridge is located at the new William H. Neukom building, which is part of the law school campus.  Anna describes the bridge as more like a two-story atrium, connecting two parts of the new law school building.  

“It overlooks gardens on both sides, so you feel like you are surrounded by trees and flowers,” she said.  “From the outside the glass reflects the gardens and sky.”  

Anna herself is an avid gardener and has a gardening business. She and Jeff are the parents of three boys, Mac, Sam, and Ben, who attend Mountain Brook High School, junior high, and elementary, respectively, in grades 11, 9 and 6.
