Charles C. Deubel

Background

Charles C. Deubel was born on April 4, 1948, in Summit, New Jersey, United States. His education, bar admission, and legal career were all centered in New Jersey, where he later built his professional practice.

Education

Charles C. Deubel earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Fordham University, completing it in 1970. Fordham began in 1841 as St. John's College, founded by Bishop John Hughes in the Fordham section of the Bronx. The Society of Jesus assumed responsibility for the college in 1846, and the institution took the name Fordham University in 1907, so its Jesuit character was well established during his undergraduate years.

He then studied at Seton Hall University School of Law, receiving a Juris Doctor degree in 1974. Seton Hall University, founded in 1856 by Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, opened its School of Law on February 5, 1951, at the former John Marshall Law School site in Jersey City before moving to Newark in September 1951. The law school's founding dean, Miriam T. Rooney, was the first woman to lead an ABA-accredited law school in the United States.

He was admitted to the New Jersey bar and to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in 1976. New Jersey's bar admission rules had changed in 1950, when the state Supreme Court required candidates to hold law degrees from ABA-accredited schools, a requirement that led to the closure of John Marshall Law School in Jersey City.
