Ion Budai-Deleanu

Ioan Budai-Deleanu s-a născut la 6 ianuarie 1760(1763?) la Cigmău(azi parte a oraşului Geoagiu),Hunedoara.După 1787 s-a stabilit la Liov, unde a obținut, prin concurs, postul de secretar juridic al tribunalului provincial. În 1796 este avansat consilier (judecător) la Curtea de Apel, funcție pe care o deține până la moartea sa la 24 august 1820, la Liov, Polonia.
Probabil că Budai-Deleanu funcţiona la secţia specială pentru judecarea apelurilor şi recursurilor din Bucovina. Aici limba oficială era cea polonă, sentinţele şi deciziile pentru Bucovina erau redactate în limba germană.Despre judecătoriile locale Cernăuţi, Suceava şi Siret, acesta spunea că: „din nenorocire, din capul locului, aceste posturi au fost ocupate cu oamenii cei mai bizari, persoane fără valoare, vagabonzi de nimic, calfe ba chiar şi lachei au fost trimişi în Bucovina pe funcţiile atât de importante”.
Gheorghe Asachi cumpără manuscrisele lui Budai-Deleanu pentru Academie, dar nicio fotografie a acestuia, astfel încât nu ştim cum arăta acesta.

Prima femeie preşedinte al ABA

Roberta Cooper Ramo, the first woman elected president of the American Bar Association (ABA), was a pathbreaker in many ways. Ramo was also the first ABA president with a technological bent, proselytizing for decades about the need for modern management techniques and computerization in running law firms.
Ramo was born August 8, 1942, in Denver. The daughter of a Western clothing retailer, she graduated from the University of Colorado magna cum laude in 1964. She then entered the University of Chicago Law School, and received a juris doctorate in 1967.
Having worked her way to prominence within the organization, Ramo made her first run for ABA president in 1991. Only one other woman had run for that office, in 1986, only to pull out of the race very early when she failed to gain significant support. Ramo's bid became legend in ABA politics, where it is not unusual for someone to run unopposed for president and where the vote usually is very quick when it concerns two candidates. For the first time, three contenders were left at the time of the election, and the voting dragged throughout the day to an unprecedented eighty-eight ballots before she finally lost.
Ramo ran again and won in 1995, serving from August of that year to August 1996. The perception and reality of the old guard tradition in ABA leadership were so strong that when she was elected, the New York Times noted that even with two women on the U.S. Supreme Court and two women at the highest level of the Justice Department, a "perhaps even more formidable barrier has fallen."
