The Tenth Circuit Historical Committee was created by
Administrative Order 7-15.0.  Our mission is to:

  • Preserve the Circuit’s rich judicial history;

  • Promote public understanding of the legal system;

  • Preserve the rich history of the Circuit by preservation of materials as well as preservation of pictures and interviews through electronic media;

  • Disseminate the history of our courts to our community and share how the courts have served and built the community;

  • Prepare for the centennial anniversary of the Circuit in June, 2011.


The Committee consists of senior members of the bench and bar, representatives of voluntary bar associations, representatives of the various programs of the court system, and any other interested citizen. 

The present committee includes judges, lawyers, a history professor and non-lawyers.

The committee is active in gathering oral histories from senior attorneys and judges so the knowledge of the past is not lost when these interesting veterans of our Circuit pass on. 

The co-chairs of the committee are:
