In Memoriam: Milton L. Schwartz

Milton L. Schwartz, a retired Sacramento federal judge, died October 3 of complications from a stroke. Schwartz earned a law degree at Boalt Hall, and in 1953 cofounded a Sacramento law firm then known as McDonough, Holland, Schwartz, Allen & Wahrhaftig, now called McDonough, Holland & Allen. He was appointed to the federal bench by President Carter and retired in 2002 after 23 years. The Sacramento/Yolo County Inn of Court is named after Justice Schwartz, and is affiliated with the American Inns Court. The Milton L. Schwartz American Inn of Court is comprised of judges, lawyers and law students and is designed to improve the skills, professionalism and ethics of the bench and bar. Many faculty and students at UC Davis School of Law are members of the Inn of Court, and Professors Edward Imwinkelried and Margaret Johns helped found the Inn.
