| Moritz to Honor Niki Z. Schwartz '64 on May 13 in Cleveland |
 Niki Z. Schwartz has many monikers: "a civil libertarian
of impeccable pedigree," a "pioneer of prison reform,"
and perhaps most laudatory, "the lawyer other lawyers
call." Best known for successfully negotiating an end
to the Lucasville prison riot in 1993, Niki is a skilled litigator
who has won cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, argued 25
cases before the Supreme Court of Ohio, and handled a wide
range of high profile civil liberties cases, winning most.
Moritz alumni attending the Ohio State Bar convention and
friends will gather on May 13 to celebrate his distinguished
career. (learn more) |

James Meeks has, at various times, worn all of these hats,
and worn them exceedingly well. Not surprisingly, graduates
