About The Honorable Morton A. Brody

The Morton A. Brody Distinguished Judicial Service Award was created in memory of the Honorable Morton Brody, a U.S. District Court judge who passed away in March 2000. Brody, a long-time Waterville resident, taught courses at Colby on the judicial system, was the husband of Associate Dean of Admissions Judith Brody '58 and was long a friend of the College.

At the request of the Brody family, the College has accepted gifts given in his memory to establish an endowment to support a biennial event on the campus to honor an outstanding United States federal or state judge who embodies the same qualities of integrity, compassion, humanity, and judicial craftsmanship as were exhibited by Judge Brody throughout his lifetime.
