    Frederick L. Hoffman. Thoroughly conversant with the details of his
profession, energetic as well as honorable, and high-minded in all the different
phases of life, Frederick L. Hoffman, judge of the Common Pleas Court, of
Cincinnati, occupies an enviable position among his fellow-citizens
who,willingly accord him a place in their front rank, not alone for his many
professional qualities, but for every trait that marks a true Christian
gentleman. Judge Hoffman was born in Boston, Mass., May 26, 1872, and he fully
exemplifies the alert, enterprising character for which the people of that city
are noted. His early educational advantages were those afforded by the public
schools of his native city. Later he pursued a course of study at Bates College,
from which he was graduated in 1893 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. His
natural predilection was for the law, and after taking a special course of study
at Harvard University, he matriculated at the Y. M. C. A. Law school of
Cincinnati, and received his Bachelor of Laws from that institution in 1896. He
then engaged in teaching school for three years, after which he began the
practice of law at Cincinnati, pursuing a general practice until 1913, when he
was elected judge of the Common Pleas Court. There is no man in the judiciary of
Cincinnati in whom the people place more implicit confidence, with regard to his
professional integrity and ability, than they do in Judge Frederick L. Hoffman.
On the bench his legal talents and strength are given free scope and are shown
to the best advantage. His ability to grasp a multitude of details and to show
their general bearing on the point at issue, and a patient and courteous
attitude toward all who come before him are traits that make him a popular
judge. His decisions are always carefully considered, and are based upon the
facts and the law applicable to them. He never forgets nor disregards the
dignity of his position or the high purpose of the courts, and as a judge he
endeavors not to make, but to declare and apply the law. Judge Hoffman is a
member of the Hamilton County Bar Association, and of the Ohio State Bar
Association, and fraternally is a member of the various Masonic bodies, having
been Past Master of Linwood Blue Lodge No. 567. He is also Eminent Commander of
Cincinnati Commandery, Knights Templar, and a member of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Young Men's Christian
Association.
