Professor Robert Rennie: An appreciation PROFESSOR Robert Rennie’s death at the age of 73 on January 6 has created in academic circles and the practice of law a void which will be difficult to fill.

In fact, he continued to work in private practice while fulfilling the demanding duties of being the Professor of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow. Robert and I went to the University of Glasgow in 1964. He graduated 1967, but was awarded a prize in conveyancing permitting him to pursue a Ph.D, graduating in 1972. He was an apprentice with Bishop, Milne and Boyd, where Jack Halliday, the then Professor of Conveyancing, another “character”, was the senior partner.
