Professor James H. Barnett, Jr.
(1891-1970)
A 1917 graduate of the Law School, he became a full-time faculty member in 1920 and served for 48 years. He was instrumental in changing the Law School from an evening school to a full-time day school, and under his leadership the Law School won accreditation with the Association of American Law Schools. He tried to instill in his students the importance of digging hard to find relevant facts and understand them all. Golf was his favorite pastime. The university awarded him an honorary LLD in 1970.
