<i>Judge Charles Edward Clark</i> Edited by Peninah Petruck
Hoffer, Peter Charles
Abstract
For everyone who knew him while he lived and everyone whose career or education he touched, Charles Edward Clark (1889-1963) was a presence almost larger than life. A shade under six feet tall, with a bullfrog voice, barrel chest, and broad shoulders, he could not be missed in a crowd. A man whose habits and opinions had an "allor-nothing quality" during a critical era for legal education and government-lawyer relations, Clark's presence seemed to fill the law school he led and the bench on which he sat.
