This tournament honors native Oregonian David Frohnmayer who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, attended Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and earned his law degree from Berkeley. He was elected the Oregon Attorney General in 1984 and was re-elected four years later as the nominee of both parties. Frohnmayer was the President of the University of Oregon from 1994 until 2009 and remains a Professor in the Honors College and the Knight Law Center.
