Rogers, an Army veteran and son of a congressman, spent his entire 59-year legal career at the Palm Beach law firm now known as Alley, Maass, Rogers & Lindsay, specializing in wills, estates and trusts, banking law, general commercial law and corporate law. He was known as “a leading business producer” in the firm. His civic engagement included holding positions as president of the UF Law Center Association board of trustees, president of the UF Foundation and president of the UF National Alumni Association. Judge Young, a Navy veteran, became in 1962 the first federal judge to serve in the Orlando
Courthouse in the Middle District of Florida. He oversaw groundbreaking cases during his tenure on the bench, including a case that ultimately ended segregation in the Orlando school district. He also presided over cases involving the development of the John F. Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral. The federal courthouse in Orlando was renamed the George C. Young United States Courthouse and Federal Building in 1993. “We would not be where we are today if not for our legacy — the leaders of years past who broke barriers while solidifying UF Law’s tradition of excellence,” Dean Rosenbury said.
