| Info | Moritz law alumni at Jones Day created the designated professorship named in honor of retired Jones Day partner and Moritz alumnus, the Hon. Robert M. Duncan '52. Judge Duncan first served in the Franklin County Municipal Court. In 1969, he was elected to the Ohio Supreme Court where he served until his appointment as Judge and eventually Chief Judge of the United States Court of Military Appeals.
He was then appointed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. It was in this position that Judge Duncan wrote the landmark order ending segregation in the Columbus Public Schools. His fairness, leadership and accessibility to community groups helped ensure a smooth desegregation process.
He resigned from the judiciary in 1985 and became a partner with Jones Day. Today, he serves as the Moritz College's Distinguished Jurist in Residence and on the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University.
