Roy J.D. Hall Jr. ’73 Appointed Administrative Law Judge in American Samoa

California Western School of Law alumnus Roy J.D. Hall Jr. ’73 has been appointed Administrative Law Judge for the Territory of American Samoa, marking another milestone in a legal career that spans more than five decades in both private and government practice. 

Judge Hall recently shared news of his appointment and reflected on the support he received during his time as a law student. 

Coming to San Diego from American Samoa, Hall recalls meeting the late Dean Robert Castetter whose support left a lasting impression. 

"I credit Dean Castetter and the great California Western faculty with giving me the opportunity to complete my legal education, pass the Hawaii State Bar Exam, and go on to over 50 years of private and government practice of law," Hall said. 

Hall also expressed his gratitude to the law school for the opportunities it provided him and other Samoan graduates. 

"I am forever indebted to California Western for giving me and the other Samoan law graduates the opportunity to build successful legal careers in American Samoa," he said. 

California Western is proud to celebrate Hall's appointment and the impact he continues to make through his distinguished legal career.
