    Robert Z. Buchwalter, judge of the Court of Appeals for the First Appellate
District of Ohio and formerly judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton
county, is widely known in public affairs, both of a legal and civil nature, and
is a native of the city of Cincinnati, born August 25. 1876. The preparation of
Judge Buchwalter for the profession of his choice was thorough and
comprehensive. After he had completed the curriculum of the graded schools and
the Woodward High school, at Cincinnati, he entered a preparatory institution,
the Franklin school, also located here, and when he emerged therefrom was
qualified for entrance in Yale University. He secured his degree from that
college in 1899, as a Bachelor of Arts, and, returning to his native place,
entered the Cincinnati Law School, from which he was duly graduated in 1902 with
the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Admitted to the bar that same year, he commenced
practice as a member of the firm of Robertson & Buchwalter, a combination that
soon gained a reputation for fine legal ability and success in either
prosecution or defense. During his connection with this concern, Mr. Buchwalter
gave decisive evidence of his possession of the qualities deemed desirable as
judicial timber, and in 1916 was elevated to the bench of the Common Pleas
Court, and in 1921 to the Court of Appeals for the First Appellate District of
Ohio, where he has since remained. Judge Buchwalter's masterful, straightforward
and considerate adjudication of the important and delicate business matters
which have come before him have stamped him as one of the foremost and most
popular judges in the state. Speaking to the letter, Judge Buchwalter's law
studies have not been completed, for even as a member of the bench he is still a
student. He belongs to the Cincinnati Bar Association and the Phi Delta Phi
legal fraternity, and likewise holds membership in the Cincinnati Chamber of
Commerce. As a fraternalist, he belpngs to Avon Lodge of Masons, has attained
the thirty-second Scottish Rite degree and is a noble of the Mystic Shrine, and
his social connections include membership in the University and Cuvier Press
clubs, in which he maintains numerous friendships.
