Access Restricted to Northwestern Law CommunityMiner Reception, 1
| On Friday, March 7, 2003 the Law School
commemorated the 40th Anniversary of the Julius H. Miner Moot Court
Competition and honored the memory of the Honorable Julius H. Miner
with a celebratory dinner. Forty years ago, Mrs. Judith Miner established
a moot court competition in honor of her husband, District Court Judge
Julius Miner. The competition has allowed teams of second-year students
to sharpen their oral argumentation and brief-writing skills before
panels of leading attorneys and members of the bench. Since its creation
it has become a landmark program at the Law School and is a living
tribute to the late jurist’s character and contributions to
the legal profession. Approximately 350 students packed Lincoln Hall to cheer on the finalists. The judges ruled in favor of Frank Dworak '05 and John Capone '05. Information on the competition can be found here. |
 Dean David E. Van Zandt (clockwise from left), Professor John Elson, and Barry McNamara ’69 presented Mrs. Judith Miner with a plaque of appreciation for her outstanding commitment and generous involvement in furthering Northwestern University School of Law. |
Family members from many
generations gathered around Mrs. Judith Miner. We are extremely grateful
to Mrs. Miner and the entire Miner family for their continued support
of the Julius H. Miner Moot Court competition.
