Fred F. Herzog

Fred F. Herzog was an Austrian-American jurist and former Dean of IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law and The John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

Herzog was born in Prague on September 21, 1907. At the time of his birth, Prague was the capital of Bohemia, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His first law degree was in both civil law and canon law, Doctor Juris Utriusque (a "doctor of both laws"). He was assigned to study at the University of Iowa College of Law, where he studied U.S. law from 1940 to 1942.

In 1963, he became Special Counsel to the Chicago Metropolitan Sanitary District.

On January 1, 1976, Fred Herzog became Dean of The John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Under his leadership, The John Marshall Law School joined the Association of American Law Schools, added to its full-time faculty, upgraded the library facilities and holdings, and acquired a new building that doubled the size of the law school. This is a two-credit hour course that law students take during their third semester.

The Herzog Memorial Lecture for 2012-13 was delivered on April 8, 2013, by Laurel Bellows, President of the American Bar Association.
