Law/Patents - Education / Pedagogy / Education | | English term or phrase: venable | | Venable Professor of Law |
| | | Catedrático Venable de Derecho [o, de Leyes] | Explanation:
Hi again David!
I'm truly amazed as I just got a reply from Professor Lande---never expected it so quickly! I'll copy and paste it below for you.
Above, I've put what I believe to be the best translation into Spanish but I would suggest the following:- As it is a proper name, I would put "Venable" in cursive or italics, followed by an explanation in parenthesis--[del legado de la cátedra "Venable" dotado por el bufete de abogados "Venable, Bajeter & Howard" de Baltimore, Maryland, EEUU].
Here's the e-mail I got back from Prof. Lande:
"Venable" is the last name of a successful Baltimore lawyer. He helped to
found a law firm, "Venable, Bajeter & Howard". A few years ago this law
firm decided to present a nice gift to my law shcool, the University of
Baltimore School of Law. They gave us a large sum of money and told the
Law School to use it to endow a named Professorship, and they requested
that this Professorship should be named the "Venable Professor of Law."
(The "Venable, Bajeter & Howard Professor of Law" is a bit long, don't you
ghink?) I was lucky enough to be selected to be the Venable Professor of
Law.
Sincerely yours,
Bob Lande
Hope this helps David.
Luck!

David, I\'ve just received the following e-mail from Prof. Lande:
\"My pleasure. Can I please ask you -- do you know the circumstances of the
request? In other words, is someone translating an article that I wrote
into Spanish? Would it be possible for me to ask this person the reason
for their request?
Thank you,
Bob Lande\"

Explanation:
Hi David!
I can't find the word "venable" in any English dictionary. I suspect it might perhaps be a "typo" and should be Venerable---which would be the above.
Luck!
