Biography
Herbert Funk Goodrich, born in 1889, earned his place among the nation's leading legal minds through decades of teaching, scholarship, and judicious service. He shaped countless young lawyers as dean and professor while also serving with distinction on the federal bench, always striving to bring clarity and fairness to the law.
