The Grand Rapids Press notes the passing of retired U.S. District Judge Douglas Hillman, a favorite among attorneys practicing in federal court:
Judge Hillman, 84, who had a passion for training young lawyers, suffered a stroke in 2000 that slowed him down. His health took a turn for the worse last month.

Judge Hillman will be remembered for his “unfailing courtesy” to everyone in the justice system, U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Scoville said during a ceremony four years ago.
