Calvin H. Hall Sr. 1924-2012
Calvin Hall Sr. had a distinguished career as an attorney and judge that spanned nearly 50 years.
He started with the Chicago Housing Authority as a trial attorney and moved up to chief counsel. His work over 25 years to secure fair housing for those in need, along with his other CHA contributions, led the agency to give him its distinguished service award in 1982, said his son, Calvin Hall Jr.
In 1984, he was appointed an associate judge of the Cook County Circuit Court, hearing domestic relations cases and tenant-landlord disputes."I worked right alongside him in domestic relations," said Chief Judge Timothy Evans. "He was a great lawyer, a wonderful judge and a very good friend."
Mr. Hall, 88, died of a chronic lung condition Tuesday, Nov. 27, in his home on Chicago's Far South Side, his son said.
