Daily News of Los Angeles (CA) - Friday, December 29, 1989
Harmon R. Ballin, an attorney, Los Angeles Superior Court judge pro tempore, and a founder of the San Fernando Valley Bar Association's "Inns of Court" mentor program, died of cancer Tuesday at USC's Kenneth Norris Jr. Cancer Hospital. He was 57.
Ballin helped start the local Inns of Court program in 1987, which introduces older lawyers and judges to younger ones with the purpose of improving advocacy skills, said Lee Kanon Alpert, a lawyer and close friend of the deceased. The program has grown steadily and now involves about 100 lawyers and judges in the Valley.
Inns of Court traces its roots to medieval England, when taverns near the courthouses were used for informal get-togethers at which lawyers would discuss legal issues and instruct one another in different techniques of advocacy. Such programs have been copied in the U.S. for at least 100 years and in other parts of Southern California for about 35 years, Alpert said.
Ballin, editor of the USC Law Review from 1957-1958, also lectured on real estate transactions and condominium litigation in the Continuing Education of the Bar program at the university.
Ballin served as vice president of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, president of the San Fernando Valley region of the Jewish Federation Council, chairman of United Jewish Fund's West Valley Campus and president and chairman of the board at North Hollywood's Adat Ari El Temple.
