Memorial Scholarship Established for Hon. Arthur A. Gladstone

The National Judicial College is establishing a scholarship fund in memory of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Arthur A. Gladstone. Judge Gladstone, one of the “founders” of ALJ education, passed away on May 8, 2009 at the age of 97.

Judge Gladstone was an NJC faculty member for twenty-seven years who helped to shape the careers of thousands of administrative law judges. In addition to being an excellent faculty member, his commitment to promoting the professionalism of the ALJ profession had a real impact on both the local and national levels.

NJC faculty member, Duane Harves, fondly remembers the way Judge Gladstone secured his legacy at The National Judicial College. Harves said, “At the time when NJC was deciding whether to expand its course offerings, it was Arthur who led the effort to educate Administrative Law Judges. Today, thanks to those efforts, thousands of ALJs from both state and federal governments have had the opportunity for professional training. He will not be forgotten,” said Harves.

The NJC thought it fitting to establish a scholarship in Judge Gladstone’s memory that will be awarded to ALJ’s seeking education at The National Judicial College. During these challenging economic times, states are experiencing budget shortfalls and are reducing judicial education programs. Establishing a scholarship fund in Judge Gladstone’s name will help provide ALJ’s with educational opportunities that they may not have without this scholarship.
