U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said the core
of his judicial philosophy was “you have to think about the other
fellow.” By that, he meant you have to be devoted to justice, but also
have empathy for the human beings whose cases come before you.

T
ose words exactly describe Avern Cohn’s career throughout
seventy years as a lawyer and federal judge during a life devoted to
the law, justice and his community.
