Doyle Rogers Distinguished Chair of Law In the charter class’ first year, the College of Law announced the establishment of the Doyle Rogers Distinguished Chair of Law, named in honor of an attorney whose career accomplishments are superseded only by his exemplary character. Doyle Rogers is a lawyer whose career reflects accomplishments to which all lawyers aspire. His dedication to the legal profession has been honorable, unwavering and exceptional. The Doyle Rogers Distinguished Chair of Law was established with the leadership, generosity and vision of Barbara Massey Rogers and the Jack C. Massy Foundation. It is a fitting tribute and a wonderful expression of dedication, support and love by Barbara and her family who have been some of Belmont’s most ardent benefactors. This newly endowed Chair was filled by former U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales. Judge Gonzales is the only former U.S. Attorney General teaching full-time in legal education. Belmont College of Law Founding Dean Jeff Kinsler said, “The insight and experience Alberto Gonzales acquired while serving as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, Counsel to the President, Justice on the Supreme Court of Texas and Texas Secretary of State is an immeasurable resources for our students and faculty. Since leaving public office, these qualities have helped Judge Gonzales develop into an outstanding professor. We are incredibly fortunate that he has joined our charter faculty, and we are extremely grateful for the support provided by Doyle and Barbara Rogers.”
