Biography Judge Warren D. Wolfson joined the College of Law as interim dean in August 2009. He brings to the deanship a wealth of expertise garnered throughout a legal career that includes 33 years on the bench and extensive academic experience. He was appointed to the Circuit Court of Cook County in 1975, elected to a full term in 1976, and retained in that position for five consecutive terms. In 1994, he was assigned to the Illinois Appellate Court, 1st District, where he served until joining DePaul. Prior to his career on the bench, he spent 18 years in criminal defense practice. Judge Wolfson, co-author of TRIAL EVIDENCE (4th ed., Aspen Publishers 2009) and MATERIALS IN TRIAL ADVOCACY (6th ed., Aspen Publishers 2007), established and directed the highly respected trial advocacy program at Chicago-Kent College of Law from 1971 to 2009. During that time he also taught evidence and an advanced evidence seminar.
