The Louisiana Legislature has adopted a resolution expressing deep condolences on the passing of retired Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Harry T. Lemmon, who died on April 18, 2025, at the age of ninety-four. Born in Morgan City, Louisiana, Justice Lemmon had a distinguished career that began with his election to the Court of Appeal in 1970 and included twenty-one years of service on the Louisiana Supreme Court from 1980 until his retirement in 2001. He was also a dedicated legal educator, teaching at several law schools and contributing significantly to the continuing education of judges and legal professionals.

Justice Lemmon's contributions to the legal field extended beyond his judicial service; he co-authored the Louisiana Civil Law Treatise on Civil Procedure and was involved in various committees that shaped civil and criminal law in Louisiana. He received numerous accolades for his leadership and ethics, including the Louisiana Bar Foundation's Distinguished Jurist Award and an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Loyola University. The resolution concludes by extending heartfelt condolences to his wife, the Honorable Mary Ann Vial Lemmon, and his family.
