Thomas F. Lambert, Jr. Papers (MS106)

Abstract

The papers of Thomas F. Lambert Jr., torts scholar and Suffolk University Law Professor, are a compilation of materials that document different aspects of Lambert’s life and career. The first set of materials highlight his studies at Oxford in the 1930s, including diaries and photographs of his life in England and travels around Europe. While traveling in Germany, he was witness to parades and public events held by the Nazi Party, including the visit of Italian leader Benito Mussolini. From Lambert’s time as a prosecutor in the Nuremberg trials, there are a few photographs and documents from the 1946 trial of German Nazi Party official Martin Bormann. The collection includes copies of Lambert’s publications related to torts and other aspects of the law, law school notebooks, articles about Lambert’s life and career, plus a collection of small dairies filled with his favorite quotes and sayings. Another segment of the materials is a series of interviews of Lambert conducted by his friend Angela (Bonin) Gelber in 1994. The interviews focus on different aspects of his life including Lambert's early life in college, his experience at the Nuremberg Trials, as well as his later life and relationship with his wife Elizabeth.
