The Vogel Lecture honors Mart Vogel's lifelong commitment to the highest standards of professionalism in the practice of law. Following his graduation from law school in 1938, Mart moved to Minot, where he served as attorney for the FDIC. In 1941, Mart joined the firm of Thorp, Wattam and Vogel. For the next 50 years, Mart maintained an active and successful practice as one of North Dakota's best known trial lawyers. He enjoyed his work and the profession of law, and even after he retired from the active practice, he continued to go to his office until he was over 90 years old. Mart was known for his commitment to the legal profession and to his home community. The UND School of Law is privileged to host the Vogel Lecture as part of Mart's lasting legacy in the North Dakota legal profession. We thank SBAND for generously including the Vogel Lecture in this year's Annual Meeting program.
