Hugh Rodham Biography

Hugh Rodham is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on May 26, 1950 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States. Rodham was born in Park Ridge, Illinois to a United Methodist family. Hugh Ellsworth Rodham (1911-1993), Rodham’s father, was Welsh and English. He was a successful entrepreneur in the textile industry. His mother Dorothy Emma Howell (1919-1911) was a homemaker from English, Scottish and French Canadian descent. Hugh is the older brother of Tony and Hillary. Growing up, Hugh was frequently called “Hughie”, to distinguish himself from his father. This name would continue into adulthood.

Rodham relocated to Miami to begin practicing criminal law. He became an investigator for Dade County’s public defender around 1980. He shared a condo with his brother Tony for a time. Although they are often paired together for commentary, the brothers have their own personalities. Hugh has been compared to the Norm Peterson character on the television series Cheers by friends and acquaintances.

In 1989 the groundbreaking, much imitated Miami Drug Court was co-founded by State Attorney Janet Reno, Chief Judge Gerald Wetherington, and Public Defender Bennett Brummer. Seeking to combat the crack cocaine epidemic of the time, it sought to find nonviolent drug users and give addicts structured programs to overcome addiction, often in lieu of a jail sentence. Rodham became Assistant Public Defender in the court. In this work Rodham was praised by local officials for effective, tireless work for long hours at low wages; Rodham himself would later say, “Public Defenders are the last bastion for liberty … we provide a strong defense for every citizen accused.” Reno would later credit Rodham for making the Drug Court a success: “That drug court could never have been established without the cooperation of the public defender … [who] was a fellow by the name of Hugh Rodham, the assistant public defender. And we didn’t know who Hugh Rodham was in those days, but one thing he did was get his clients in the back room, and every now and then you could hear him raise his voice and tell them to get with it and let’s go. … He was assiduous in protecting his clients’ rights, but he was also extraordinarily helpful in making sure his clients understood that here was a real chance to solve their problems.”

In 1989 Rodham became Assistant Public Defender for the Miami Drug Court. Rodham made one run for political office, winning the 1994 Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat from Florida, but losing the general election to incumbent Senator Connie Mack III. During the Clinton administration, some of his actions came under public scrutiny. Since then he has been in private practice as a lawyer.

Rodham, like his father, attended Pennsylvania State University. He graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Sciences degree from the College of Health and Human Development. He was the backup quarterback for the Penn State Nittany Lions football club. Rodham was an active member of Theta Delta Chi’s Sigma Triton fraternity at Penn State.
