U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, South Bend · county boundary material
Robert Allen Grant is the Grant pattern at full strength, from the Federal Judicial Center's biographical record: born July 31, 1905 in Bourbon, Indiana; moved to South Bend in 1922; Notre Dame A.B. 1928, J.D. 1930; private practice in South Bend; deputy prosecuting attorney of St. Joseph County, 1935–36; U.S. Representative, 1939–1949; nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana by President Eisenhower on August 21, 1957, confirmed August 22, 1957, commission August 26, 1957; chief judge, 1961–1972; senior status December 1, 1972; also sat on the Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals, 1976–1993; service ended by his death March 2, 1998 (in Mishawaka, per the House history page). The federal courthouse at 204 S. Main Street, South Bend, carries his name: the Robert A. Grant Federal Courthouse. From this ground's bench line also: Robert Lowell Miller Jr., born 1950 in South Bend — St. Joseph Superior Court judge 1975–1985, law clerk to Judge Grant in 1975 — nominated by President Reagan October 23, 1985, commission December 17, 1985; chief judge 2003–2010; senior status January 11, 2016; FISA Court of Review 2020–2023. Neither judge is an Osceola man; both are the federal bench of the county this town sits in, printed at boundary size as the row directs.
