GEORGE TORZSAY-BIBER Lecturer in Law In his role as lecturer and reference librarian, Dr. Torzsay-Biber adds a distinctly European flavor to the faculty potpourri. Dr. Biber - his name has taken this shortened form among the members of the law school community - was born in 1909 in Hungary. He graduated from the University of Budapest in 1932, did graduate work at the University of Berlin, and received a doctorate in law from the University of Budapest in 1934. He was a member of the Hungarian bar from 1934 to 1945. For the next five years he was employed by the United States Military Government in Austria. Dr. Torzsay-Biber came to the United States in 1950 and served for a year as Secretary to Chief Justice Arnold of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. At the same time he was a special lecturer in international law and jurisprudence at the University of Oklahoma. From 1952 until he came to Stanford in 1960, he was a legal analyst with the Library of Congress. Despite the demands of his job, Dr. Torzsay-Biber always seems to have time to help a student find a lost case or an elusive law review article. In addition to instructing first-year students in the art of legal research, he teaches a seminar in his favorite subject, Roman Law.
