Abstract

Ask any individual what word comes to mind upon hearing the name Solomon, and he or she is certain to declare "wisdom." Inquire of any persons-lawyers and non-lawyers alike-what word comes to mind upon hearing the name Solomon Oliver Jr., and one is also certain to hear the term "wisdom," plus a whole other set of adjectives and nouns that describe the current chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in exceptionally glowing terms. A small sampling of these praising and admiring descriptors include words such as "impartial," "fair," "respectful," "highly intelligent," "good-hearted," "hard-working," "guardian of the Constitution," "excellent role model," "the consummate mentor," "a trailblazer," "a thoughtful but no-nonsense judge," and "an inspirational figure."
