News of Alumni: J. Michael Hannon '68

On October 2, the Catholic University of America (CUA) Columbus School of Law honored J. Michael Hannon '68 as one of its 2020 Distinguished Alumni at the Law School’s Reunion Weekend.

The Distinguished Alumni Award honors an alumnus who has led an extraordinary career since law school graduation, showing dedication and commitment to the betterment of the legal profession and reflecting the importance of a Columbus Law School education.

Michael graduated from the evening division of Catholic's law school in 1980. His father, the Honorable Joseph M. Hannon, Associate Judge of the Superior Court for the District of Columbia, and brother, Brian W. Hannon '75, partner with the intellectual property firm of Shugrue Mion, also earned his law degree from Catholic.

Following law school, Michael served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia from 1981 to 1988. In 2006, he founded Hannon Law Group, which has since hired and trained over three dozen graduates from the Columbus School of Law. Today, Hannon boasts a staff of seven CUA graduates.

Michael's son, also Michael, graduated from Gonzaga in 2006. 

Congratulations, Michael!
