Viewing Charles E. Goldblum (1873-1942).

Charles E. Goldblum (1873-1942).

After graduating the University of Minnesota College of Law in 1896 Charles E. Goldblum practiced for several years in Minneapolis and Chicago. In 1909 he accepted an offer from Hennepin County Attorney James Robertson to be an Assistant County Attorney. He served in this position until death at age sixty-nine on October 11, 1942. In memorial proceedings for the Hennepin County Bar Association the following year, a friend, Lucien A. Selover, recalled:

"Mr. Goldblum was very scholarly and knew the legal business. As part of his work as Assistant County Attorney he became an expert on extradition, and had court battles in practically every state in the Union. He often told me that this work was a branch of law one could not learn from the books."
