| Congressman John F. Seiberling (1918-2008) For those of you who may not be in the Akron area this summer or who may be traveling, I am sorry to report that John F. Seiberling, Congressman (1971-1987) and a member of our faculty after he retired from Congress, passed away on Saturday at the age of 89. Seiberling is remembered as the “conscience of Congress” and “one of America’s great conservationists.” -Richard L. Aynes Obituaries The Washington Post The Cleveland Plain Dealer The Akron Beacon Journal |
The Honorable John F. Seiberling (1918-2008) |
The David L. Brennan Chair of Law
The David L. Brennan Chair of Law was established in 1984. David L. Brennan is a partner in Amer Cunningham Brennan Company, one of Akron's leading law firms. He is also an entrepreneur. David and his wife, Ann, a 1982 graduate of the School of Law, are active in community affairs and strongly supportive of legal education. The endowment of the Brennan Chair creates a margin of excellence at the School of Law beyond that which public funds can provide.
The Honorable Arthur J. Goldberg
The inaugural holder of the Brennan Chair was the Honorable Arthur J. Goldberg, who taught a seven-week seminar in Selected Problems in Constitutional Law during Fall 1984. He presided over simulated presentations of cases then pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. In the presentations, students not only argued cases, but wrote opinions. In the final session the arguments were conducted before Goldberg and a panel that included six justices of the Ohio Supreme Court.
