The Judge Sam H. Bell May 10-12, 2012 |
|
Judge Bell was a member of Akron Law’s Class of 1952 and was the first Akron Law alumnus to serve on a federal district court. Appointed in 1982 by President Reagan, Judge Bell served on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. He never retired or resigned from the federal bench and remained a federal judge in inactive status until the day he died on Dec. 23, 2010. With the exception of the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Bell sat on every level of the state and federal court systems by election, appointment, or assignment. Judge Bell also served on the Board of the Federal Judges Association. In May 2012, Akron Law will launch a major advocacy training program/CLE in honor of Judge Bell. Modeled on the Inns of Court, which were so important to Judge Bell, the program will bring together federal and state court judges, experienced lawyers, and more junior lawyers for intensive practicum experiences. There will also be an opportunity for selected students to participate. Made possible by The Honorable Sam H. Bell ('52) Fund for Advancement for Legal Advocacy |
