17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. Tapping Reeve (1744–1823) American Lawyer, born at Brookhaven, L.I., October 1744. He graduated at Princeton College in 1763, and settled at Litchfield, CT, in 1772. There he practised law and soon had as a student and an inmate of his family Aaron Burr, whose sister he had married. Burr left him for the more adventurous career which the army offered. In 1784, when peace was established, Reeve instituted the Litchfield Law School, whose reputation soon spread to other States. Until 1798 he gave all the instruction himself, but then being made Judge of the Superior Court of Connecticut, he called an assistant to his aid in the school. Reeve held liberal ideas, and was the first lawyer of eminence to urge reform in regard to giving married women control of their property. He published the Law of Baron and Femme; Parent and Child, Guardian and Ward (1816). He died at Litchfield, on the 13th of December 1823. After his death his treatise on the Law of Descents appeared. © 2022 WEHD.com
