The Hugh J. and Frank Tamisiea Lecture in Trusts and Estates was established at the University of Iowa College of Law through the generosity of Hugh J. Tamisiea and his sister, Ruth. The Lecture honors Hugh and his father, Frank, both graduates of the College of Law, who practiced together in the firm of Tamisiea and Tamisiea, one of the oldest law firms under one family name in the State of Iowa.
