 Farewell to Chuck Williams
This Thursday, September 10, will be Chuck's last day of work at ND Law School. He joined us in 2010 to serve as former Dean Nell Newton's executive administrator after having previously worked at newspapers in Baltimore, Chicago, and Minneapolis, serving as a judicial clerk for state and federal appellate courts, and working at the American Bar Association, where he was the longtime editor of the ABA's Supreme Court Preview.
In addition to assisting Dean Newton in strategic planning and other administrative activities, his contributions included editing several editions of Notre Dame Lawyer Magazine, writing numerous articles for our website, and for the past year, overseeing the school’s annual reports to the ABA and U.S. News & World Report.
We will miss Chuck's sense of humor, love of books, music and movies, and — most of all — his friendship and kindness toward his ND Law colleagues. We wish him well as he moves on to the next stage and enjoys more free time with his wife, Mary, and their children and grandchildren.
