Following up on our posts (here and here) on the untimely death of Janet Spragens:  the Washington College of Law has announced that Janet’s funeral will be on Thursday:

It is with great sadness that I share with all of you that our esteemed colleague and friend, Professor Janet Spragens, passed away Sunday, Feb. 19th. We have conveyed our condolences on behalf of our community to her family.

Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, at the Washington Hebrew Congregation, 3935 Macomb Street, NW. There will also be a reception at 6 p.m. on Thursday, at Janet’s home. We will also plan with her family a ceremony to commemorate the multiple contributions that Janet made to our school, a school that she loved and to which she devoted almost all of her professional life.

In her memory, WCL will be naming the Federal Tax Clinic, which she founded and directed since 1990, the Janet R. Spragens Federal Tax Clinic.

Within the next few days, a page will be posted at www.legacy.com. Guests may enter Janet Spragens’ name and post entries in her guestbook. If her page is not found, please try again at a later time. This will be a meaningful keepsake for her family and friends.
