In addition to being a moving force in the Conference of Chief Justices of the United States, he has maintained a deep involvement with the University of Arizona, serving on the University of Arizona Foundation and the Law College Association boards and teaching courses at the College. Justice Feldman has also been active in a wide range of civic organizations, including the National Advisory Council of the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science. Justice Feldman’s outstanding contributions to law and humanitarian causes have been recognized not only by the University of Arizona and its alumni association, but also by the State Bar of Arizona, the American Judicature Society, and other state and national groups. As lawyer, jurist, and public citizen, Justice Feldman has devoted himself to the highest ideals of liberty, freedom of conscience, and the rule of law.
