federal bankruptcy judge and one of two father-son pairings to serve on
the Ohio Supreme Court, has died. He was 86.

as justice.

Herbert was elected to two six-year terms, then resigned in 1980 to go
into private practice. He later served two years on the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Columbus.
Herbert was a member of the Ohio House in the
early 1960s and served on the Franklin County appeals court before
running for Supreme Court justice.
Herbert’s son, Paul Herbert II, is a Franklin County Municipal Court judge.
