Francis Hermann Bohlen (July 31, 1868-December 9, 1942) was the Algernon Sydney Biddle professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.[1]
Biography
Bohlen was born in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to John and Priscilla Murray Bohlen.[2][1] His father was the descendant of the von Bohlen family of Prussia.[1] He attended Miss Havens School in Philadelphia.[1] He graduated from St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire (1884), the University of Pennsylvania (Bachelor of Laws, 1892), and the University of Pennsylvania Law School (Doctor of Laws, 1930).[3]
Apart from his scholarship, he was a well-known cricket player who was considered one of the best amateurs in America, traveling to compete in England and playing for London County Cricket Club, Marylebone Cricket Club, Free Foresters, and the Philadelphian cricket team.[2][4][5]
Bohlen was the Algernon Sydney Biddle professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.[3][6] He was an expert on the law of torts, and also taught evidence and contracts.[7][1][6][6] He retired from teaching in 1937.[6] He was known a leading theorist of the Realist years in torts theory, though he was not a Realist himself.[8][9][10]
Among his writings were A Short Selection of Cases on the Law of Torts: Texas, and Other Cases on Torts (Bobbs-Merrill, 1933), Commentaries on Torts: Restatement, Issue 3 (American Law Institute, 1927), and Studies in the law of torts (Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1926).[11][12][13]
He died on December 9, 1942, in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, at age 74.[2]
