    THE ORAL HISTORY OF WILLIAM J. BAUER CIRCUIT JUDGE OF THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT AS TOLD TO COLLINS T. FITZPATRICK CIRCUIT EXECUTIVE OF THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT 2016 CTF: Today is August 20, 2014, and we’re in the chambers of Circuit Judge William Bauer, and we’re doing his oral history, and I am Collins Fitzpatrick, the Circuit Executive. Bill, why don’t you tell me a little bit about where, as far back as you know, the Bauers came from. WJB: Well, Bauer means either farmer or peasant in German so they came from Germany. My immediate, closest relative from there is my grandfather Bauer whose name was John, and he immigrated to the United States from Munich. His wife’s name was Katherine, with a K, Berger. CTF: Do you know what he did in Germany? WJB: I haven’t the foggiest idea. He worked in a plant some place. Driving force in that duo was apparently my grandmother, Katherine Berger and she was from Rosenheim, which was right next door to Munich in the Alps. 1 CTF: When did they immigrate? WJB: I think about 1890. I know it was before they opened the immigration center at Ellis Island. They already had one child in Germany and she was pregnant with a second child. The boat left Hamburg and got here sometime around 1890. And they were joining Katherine’s brother, obviously a Berger, Louie Berger who had a job in Chicago and said he thought he could get John a job in Chicago.

    The Jury Trial

    Page 1 6 of 29 DOCUMENTS Copyright (c) 2005 Chicago Bar Association CBA RECORD February/March, 2005 19 CBA Record 34 ARTICLE: THE JURY TRIAL TEXT: [*34] Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, Book the Third, Chapter the Twenty-Third: Of the Trial by Jury 379-80 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1st Ed. 1765-1769). As is customary, the February-March issue of the CBA Record has been largely entrusted to the YLS Journal. This year, we offer five articles unified by the theme of the jury trial. The editors of the YLS Journal chose this theme early in the summer of 2004, while brainstorming over Indian cuisine, red wine, and topics of conversation that ranged from the USA PATRIOT Act to the Second Amendment. Somehow, the importance of liberty unified the contentious spectrum of political persuasions at the table: and each of us saw the jury trial not only as a microcosm of the checks and balances that play out on C-SPAN, but also as a fundamental mechanism of liberty and justice in America. We also recognized the value of a theme that so obviously lends itself to articles of both a practical and a theoretical nature. Later, we learned that a similar theme was adopted by the Young Lawyers Division of the ABA. Maybe there was something in that post-9/11 summer air. One can only hope that pondering liberty and justice is contagious. Nicholas C. Dranias, Kristyna C.
