Maurice Blanchard Cohill Jr. (born 1929) is an inactive Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Education and career

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cohill received an Artium Baccalaureus degree from Princeton University in 1951 and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1956. He was a captain in the United States Marine Corps from 1951 to 1953. He was in private practice in Pittsburgh from 1956 to 1965. He was a judge of the Juvenile Court of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania from 1965 to 1968, and then of the Court of Common Pleas of that county until 1976.[1]

Federal judicial service

On May 4, 1976, Cohill was nominated by President Gerald Ford to a seat on the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania vacated by Judge Louis Rosenberg. Cohill was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 18, 1976, and received his commission on May 21, 1976. He served as Chief Judge from 1985 to 1992 and assumed senior status on November 28, 1994. He took inactive senior status in 2016, meaning that while he remains a federal judge, he no longer hears cases or participates in the business of the court.[1]
