Biographical Note

Frank E. Holman was a trial lawyer based in Seattle, Washington for most of his career. Born and educated in Utah, Holman won a Rhodes Scholarship in 1908 to attend Oxford University, where he earned a B.A. in Jurisprudence in 1910 and M.A. in 1914. Holman was admitted to the Washington Bar in 1911, and the Utah Bar in 1912. He returned to Utah, where he became an instructor in law at the University of Utah, and Dean of the Utah Law School, 1913-1915. He practiced law in Salt Lake City from 1915-1924.

Holman and his family moved to Seattle in 1924, where he eventually became senior partner in the firm Holman, Mickelwaite, Marion, Prince and Black (later Perkins Coie). He served as President of the Seattle Bar Association in 1941, President of the Washington State Bar Association in 1945, and President of the American Bar Association in 1948.

Holman was also active in civic affairs. He served on the Alien Enemy Hearing Board, and worked tirelessly in support of the Bricker amendment and the Connally Reservation, against what he perceived as the threat of the newly formed United Nations organization to United States sovereignty.

Frank E. Holman died in 1967.
