Judge Albert Diaz of the 4h Circuit will give a lecture at Marquette University Law School.
Diaz will present “Life Tenure on the Bench: Virtue or Vice?” for the law school’s Hallows Lecture series at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Eckstein Hall, 1215 W. Michigan St., Milwaukee. The lecture counts for one CLE credit. Registration is required.
Diaz has been a judge on the 4th Circuit bench since 2010, according to a news release. Before that, he was a state trial court judge in North Carolina and on the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals. He also previously worked as a prosecutor and in private practice. Diaz earned his law degree from New York University School of Law.
The Hallows Lecture series remembers Harold Hallows, a Milwaukee lawyer and faculty member at Marquette Law School for 28 years. He was also a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice from 1958 and 1974.
