Milton Schroeder, ’65, 1940-2025
Milton Robert Schroeder Jr.
Milton R. Schroeder, who taught generations of ASU law students the inner workings of the Uniform Commercial Code, passed away July 29, 2025, due to complications of myelofibrosis. He passed at home, peacefully, in the presence of his family.
Known to everyone as “Milt”, he joined the faculty of the fledgling law school in Tempe in 1969, in time to see its first class graduate. A professor for more than 40 years, his interests were not limited to the law. Always a follower of ASU sports, he served as ASU’s faculty athletic representative to the Pacific 10 Conference and the NCAA and also served on the NCAA Committee on Infractions during a somewhat tumultuous period in the 1980s. Known for his ability to listen, his remarkable intelligence, and his ability to comprehend every point of view, he was looked to as a source of calm strength when tempers flared.
He was an expert on banking law and regulation. In addition to authoring law review articles, he, for many years, wrote and updated the multi-volume handbook, "The Law and Regulation of Financial Institutions".
