A Tribute To D. Dortch Warriner, Theodore J. Burr Jr. Jan 1986

A Tribute To D. Dortch Warriner, Theodore J. Burr Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

I first met David Dortch Warriner in the spring of 1976 when I called him at his Emporia, Virginia office to see if he had a position available in his law firm for a lawyer just out of law school. Although I had not met him prior to my call, I knew a little of him because he was a district chairman in the Republican Party of Virginia at the time.

University of Richmond Law Review

On May 31, 1974, D. Dortch Warriner, an attorney from Emporia, Virginia, took the oath of office as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia. That solemn and auspicious occasion, which took place before the bench of the Circuit Court of Brunswick County, Virginia, was the genesis of twelve exciting and contributing years not only for Judge Warriner but for those of us, like myself, who came to know, admire, respect and love him.
