Join a Virtual Conversation With the Honorable R. Guy Cole, Jr., A72
On Wednesday, December 1, at 5 p.m., the Tufts Lawyers Association (TLA) will host a virtual conversation with the Honorable R. Guy Cole, Jr., A72, United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Judge Cole was nominated by President Clinton and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate to a judgeship on the United State Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In August 2014, Judge Cole assumed the role of Chief Judge for the Sixth Circuit—becoming the first African American to hold that position since the court's formation in 1869. Judge Cole has authored hundreds of legal opinions, including landmark decisions on civil rights, criminal procedure, and the scope of the First Amendment.
