NYT, viewed May 20, 2015 obituary dated March 13, 1999 (Stefan A. Riesenfeld; Stefan Albrecht Riesenfeld, an international law expert who taught at the University of California and helped frame the Constitution for West Germany after World War II, died on Feb. 17 at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, Calif. He was 90 and lived in Berkeley. He joined the faculty at Berkeley in 1952 as a professor of law after teaching at Harvard and the University of Minnesota. A native of Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) Stefan Riesenfeld received law degrees from the University of Breslau in 1932 and the University of Milan in 1934. After the war, as a civilian legal adviser to the military government in West Germany, he helped lay the foundation for the basic law of the Federal Republic of Germany, whose Constitution serves a reunited Germany. While in his 70's, he served two terms as counselor on international law for the State Department and often represented United States before the International Court of Justice. He helped revamp Hawaii's workers' compensation system in the 1970's and helped develop human rights litigation in the United States.)
