KOV 2 51980.THREE IN WASHINGTON

by Paul NickelsFor this issue of IN BRIEF, we profile three Law School

graduates who have made careers centered around the nation's capital—Norman Sugarman '40, head of the Washington of­fice of of Baker & Hostetler, Kenneth Mundy '57, a renowned Washington criminal attorney and chief partner of R. Kenneth Mundy Associates, and The Honorable Charles R. Richey, United States District Judge for the District of Columbia.

Norman Sugarman '40The Washington division of

Baker & Hostetler maintains its offices in an attractive new building at 818 Connecticut Avenue N.W., just a stone's throw from the home of the nation's chief executive. Nor­man Sugarman returned to Washington in 1977 to head the growing office after leaving 23 years earlier at the height of a government career with the IRS to make a career in private practice and to raise a family in Cleveland.

In the years he spent on his first Washington stint, from 1940 to 1954, Sugarman rose from the position of a staff attor­ney in the office of the Chief Counsel for the IRS to the level of Assistant Commissioner of the Internal Revenue, where he supervised the development and issuance of rulings, regula­tions, tax forms, and other technical tax services of the IRS at the national level.

He was one of the first CWRU law grads to crack the Wash­ington scene, and he is justifiably proud of his success there.

"In all modesty, I must say that when I first came here you couldn't have held an alumni luncheon in Washington, D.C.," he says, relaxing over coffee on a rainy mid-morning recently. "The school fed mainly into Cleveland and other Ohio cities and towns. Now there are plenty of alums here in Washington—many of them very young."

Sugarman credits three faculty members for bringing to the school "a new sense of direction—a breath of fresh air." Tom Cooley, Roland Stanger and William Warren were all from out of state. Cooley's grandfather had been a judge in Michi­gan, and both Warren and Stanger had practriced in New York City. "All three actively encouraged graduates to spread throughout the contry," Sugarman remembers. "Bill Warren, who got me started in taxation, was particularly high on Washington."

Sugarman arrived in Washington at what he considers to be the golden era of the Washington attorney. "There were some great lawyers in town," he said. "It was the tail end of the Depression, approaching the time of the New Deal. A lot of good attorneys were out of work, and the government was be­ginning a period of tremendous growth. The attitude toward government service was good too—people were much more

positive about the possibilities of big government."With the exception of a stint in the Army from 1943 to

1945, Sugarman was an attorney for the IRS from 1940 until 1954, when he decided to return to Cleveland to join Baker & Hostetler. He returned for a number of complex, personal reasons.

"Washington wasn't where I wanted to raise my children," he says. "It's kind of an artificial town. There's a division be­tween the government and the rest of the people in the city, and although it still exists it was much worse back then. Liv­ing, and especially growing up in Washington can lead to some severe distortions of perspective.

"Also, I felt that at 35 I had reached the top of the profes­sional ladder. My next job would have been a political ap­pointment, and I wasn't sure I wanted to get into something like that."

Sugarman returned to Cleveland, raised five children with

his wife Joan and fashioned a successful career with Baker & Hostetler. In 1977 he was made a partner and sent to Wash­ington to head the office there. It was a case of perfect timing.

"Joan and I had accomplished everything we wanted in Cleveland," he explains. "Cleveland is a wonderful town in which to bring up a family and establish oneself. It's a true community in every sense of the word. Of course, I maintain my close ties there.

"Coming back to Washington now is almost like a vacation for us. The city has changed quite a bit—the community is blending itself, and there are, of course, a lot of old friends here. We enjoy the Kennedy Center, the museums, the art gal­leries of Georgetown, and the view from our apartment in the Watergate complex. It's the best view of Washington, espe­cially at night."

R. Kenneth Mundy"Staring down from the

bench, the Judge had a word for the young man he was about to sentence. 'You should be thankful someone had the foresight to hire Ken Mundy

H as your attorney.'"^ That quote was drawn from

B ' ' ^a story which appeared in thePv Washington Post last year cov­

ering an emotionally charged case involving the shooting deaths of two policemen by a young black man. In this par­ticular case Mundy, referred to

in the same article as'"a superb orator in court" and "one of Washington's best criminal attorneys," had managed to have his client found not guilty on one count of murder and guilty to a lesser degree on the other.

It was just one instance of Ken Mundy beating odds that other attorneys might have considered impossible. Although his practice is gravitating towards the civil side, he still loves the action of acriminal trial.

"Criminal law is my first love," says Mundy. "I enjoy being in the courtroom atmosphere of a trial where the stakes are high, a lot of people are watching and the pressure is on. If I ever had to give it up-completely, it'd be like putting a race horse out to pasture."

Mundy was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, the son of a factory worker. As a young boy going to high school he parti­cipated in debate, and found that he had somewhat of a flair for public speaking. When it came time to choose a career, law "seemed as good as anything else and I knew it would give me a chance to speak in public if I turned out to be a trial lawyer."

After graduating from Kent State University, where he met his wife, Mignon, Mundy attended the CWRU School of Law with the help of his wife's work and some scholarship dollars. After graduating in 1957, Mundy went to Washington and be­came one of the first black attorneys hired by the Federal Communications Commission. He worked for the govern­ment until 1964, when he went into private practice.

A partner of Mundy's who has worked with him since that time admits that he is still "spellbound" by his talents once in awhile. "Ken and I go over the^acts of a case and the pertinent laws, and then he just comes up with the words. I sit back and watch."

His powers of persuasion being what they are, does Mundy worry about the possibility of freeing a guilty man?

"Actually, I don't think that it happens very often," Mundy replies. "I prefer to think about the innocent men who are pre­vented from being found guilty than the other way around.

"I will say that there have been cases where a man has got­ten off and gone out and hurt someone badly. It's very hard to

deal with that."Mundy, a well-dressed man who is proud of the things that

his career has brought to his wife and his 18-year-old son, has only one complaint. His hours are very long.

"My dog bit me the other night. He thought I was a stran­ger. I'm gone so long that when I come home I ring the front bell and run around back to see if anyone is running out," he laughs.

The Honorable Charles R. Richey '48Unfortunately, at the time this issue of IN BRIEF was being

prepared, fudge Richey was unavailable for an interview due to illness. A brief summary of his career follows.

Since graduating from the School of Law in 1948, Judge Richey has served in all three branches of the federal govern­ment as well as the Maryland state and county governments. In 1948 and 1949 he served as a legislative counsel to Frances P. Bolton. After years of pri­vate practice, he returned to government service in 1961 as a member of the Washington, D.C. Urban Renewal Council and the Citizens Housing Committee until 1964. From

1965 until 1967 he was a member of the Montgomery County Board of Appeals.

From 1967 until 1968 Richey was vice chairman of the Charter Revision Commission of Montgomery County in Maryland, and from 1967 until 1971 he was the general coun­sel for the Maryland Public Service Commission. In 1966 and 1968 he was cited by Montgomery County for outstanding and dedicated public service, and in 1971 he received the Cer­tificate of Distinguished Citizenship from the Governor of Maryland for his public service.

Richey is a former faculty member of the American Univer­sity and taught law at the National College of the State Judi­ciary. He currently teaches trial practice at the Georgetown University Law Center, is an elected member of the Council of the Criminal Justice Section of the ABA, and is a faculty mem­ber of the National Advocacy Institute of the ATLA, ABA's CLE National Institutes, and the Federal Judiciary Center.

He has also served as faculty member of the JJ.S. Attorney General's Trial and Apellate Advocacy Institutes. He is also an officer and executive committee member of the ABA Na­tional Conference of Federal Trial Judges.

Judge Richey and his wife, Agnes, have two sons.

Loren Souers '40 Assumes OSBA Presidencyby Paul Nickels

Loren Souers, a 1940 graduate of the School of Law and a partner in the Canton firm of Black, McCuskey, Souers and Arbaugh, reached the pinnacle of his chosen legal community when he assumed the presidency of the Ohio State Bar Asso­ciation on May 23 in Cleveland. The OSBA is one of the lar­gest voluntary bar associations in the nation, with over 16,000 members. It is presently celebrating its centennial, having been formed in 1880 in Cleveland.

Souers's office is located in the downtown area of Canton, an economically tenacious city of 110,000. The recession hasn't hurt Canton too badly—it is the home of a number of major firms, including Timken, Diebold and Hoover; indus­tries which do not rely entirely on the ailing auto industry for their sustenance.

Souers is the third generation of his family to become an attorney. He considered other careers—in junior high school he thought he would become a chemist—but after graduating from college he quickly decided to attend law school.

"There was never any pressure on me to attend," remem­bers Souers, whose grandfather was a judge in New Philadel­phia, Ohio, and whose father practiced in Canton also. "And in turn I never put any pressure on my son either. I'll never forget that when I was in law school there was a fellow who had been more or less forced to go into law by his father, who happened to be a judge. He was one of the more miserable human beings I have known, and it taught me a lesson in re­gards to my son."

Souers attended when Walter Dunmore was dean. "He was a shy man—diffident, self-effacing," says Souers. "But he was one of the sharpest legal minds I have ever encountered. He had a remarkable ability to summarize a complex problem into a single, crystal sentence."

While Souers was at the law school, the faculty was perhaps as strong as it has ever been. Souers points out that in addi­tion to Dean Dunmore, there were five professors teaching who would become deans themselves eventually. There was Clarence Finfrock, who would follow Dean Dunmore; Flet­cher Andrew^, who followed Finfrock; and Wayne Townsend, Thomas Cooley and William Warren, who would become deans at Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University, respectively.

Souers' plans for thrpractice of law were interrupted briefly by World War II. The day after his first wedding anniversary he was shipped to Europe as part of the 106th Infantry Divi­sion, with which he fought in three major campaigns and re­ceived a presidential citation for his work during the Battle of the Bulge.

Since his return Souers has been director and principle counsel for the Harter Bank in Canton, a director of the Con­tinental Steel Corporation in Kokomo, Indiana, and an assis­tant prosecutor in Canton, representing the county commis­sioners in civil suits. His practice has always been principally business-oriented.

He is a former member of the Canton City Board of Educa­tion and the Ohio Board of Education, and the Ohio Board of Bar Examiners. He is a past president of the Boy Scout council and a member of the Board of Trustees of Canton District Y.M.C.A.

Prior to his election to the post of OSBA president-elect in 1979, Souers was a member qT the OSBA Executive Commit­tee representing attorneys from Stark, Tuscarawas and Carroll counties. As president he will be chairman of the 21 member Executive Committee, which is the governing board of the association. He will represent the Ohio Bar in the upcoming ABA convention, to be held in Hawaii in August.

Would any of this attract Souers to the big city?"I'm perfectly happy here in Canton," he replies. "It's a

good quality of life. 'There are a lot of big-city things nearby, but you have the peace and quiet of a small town."

Souers and his wife have two children.
