Despite being a Democrat, Marshall was appointed as a U.S. District judge in Chicago by Republican president Richard Nixon. He presided over a number of notable cases, cutting off federal funds to Chicago until then-Mayor Richard Daley desegregated the Chicago Police Dept. "As you walk down the street and see the various police officers serving the city, you will see women, African-American men and women, Hispanic men and women," said his former clerk, attorney Bob Stephenson. "That truly is the result of Judge Marshall and the way he handled that case." He died June 14 at his Florida home from cancer. He was 77.
