John C. Fauvre is an American lawyer who worked as a partner at Bank of America. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Pomona College in 1966 and a Juris Doctor from Harvard University in 1969, and he was admitted to the bar in Georgia in 1970 and in California in 1971.
Background
The earliest documented phase of John C. Fauvre's life is his undergraduate study at Pomona College in Claremont, California, in the mid-1960s. Claremont lies in Southern California, where Pomona became part of a group of affiliated colleges that shaped the town's academic character during the twentieth century.
His path ran from the West Coast to Cambridge, Massachusetts, for legal training, and then back to the West Coast through bar admissions in Georgia and California. His career developed largely within California's legal and banking community, particularly in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Education
Fauvre's undergraduate education was at Pomona College, which was established in 1887 by a group of Congregationalists who sought to create a New England-style college in Southern California. In 1925 the college became the founding member of the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of adjacent, affiliated institutions. He received his Bachelor of Arts in 1966.
He then attended Harvard University, a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he earned a Juris Doctor in 1969. Harvard Law School, the university's law school, was founded in 1817 and is the oldest law school in continuous operation in the United States. During the twentieth century it was known for its competitiveness.
Following his law degree, Fauvre was admitted to the bar in Georgia in 1970 and in California in 1971. Bar admission in a state authorizes a lawyer to practice law there, and these two admissions form the legal qualifications documented for his career.
Career
Fauvre's professional career centers on Bank of America, where he worked as a partner. The bank traces its origins to October 17, 1904, when Amadeo Giannini founded the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. In 1928 that institution acquired a Los Angeles bank founded in 1923, and two years later it adopted the Bank of America name.
The bank's San Francisco headquarters at 555 California Street served as its world headquarters before the merger with NationsBank, and the building was officially called the Bank of America Building from 1969 to 2005. In 1995 John C. Fauvre of Los Angeles was among the counsel named in Hamid v. Price Waterhouse, a Ninth Circuit decision in which Bank of America was represented.
Fauvre was admitted to the bar in Georgia in 1970 and in California in 1971. He is also documented with the designation Senior Counsel.
