John P. Frank, a noted attorney and constitutional scholar, was born in 1917. He received
his LL.B. at the University of Wisconsin, and his J.S.D. from Yale University. He was law
clerk to Justice Hugo L. Black at the October, 1942 term, among other prominent positions.
He taught law from 1946 to 1954 at Indiana and Yale Universities. He authored 12 books on
the Supreme Court, the Constitution and constitutional law. A senior partner with the
Phoenix firm of Lewis and Roca, which he joined in 1954, Frank was lead counsel on the
ground-breaking Miranda v. Arizona case, and served as counsel to Anita Hill during the
Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. While serving on the Committee on Rules of Civil
Procedure, Frank led a group that worked on drafting revisions to Rule 11 attorney
sanctions. Frank also served from 1960 to 1970 on the Advisory Committee of Civil Procedure
of the Judicial Conference of the United States.
