J. Louis Warm, an attorney in Cincinnati for 70 years, died Monday at Christ Hospital from complications of a broken hip. The Hyde Park resident was 98.

        A corporate and family law attorney, Mr. Warm wrote an 1,136-page article that was published in the second edition of Ohio Jurisprudence in November 1955.

        Called “Private Corporation,” the study, which took Mr. Warm two years to complete, was said in contemporary newspaper articles to be the first textual restatement of the Ohio law of corporations in 25 years.

        Mr. Warm's daughter, Harriet L. Warm of Cleveland and New York, said the article is still “widely quoted as an authority.”

        Mr. Warm was a graduate of Hughes High School (1918) and the University of Cincinnati (1925). He earned a law degree from the UC's College of Law, where he was a member of the Law Review in 1928.

        Soon after graduation, he also began teaching at UC Law as well as Salmon P. Chase College of Law.

        Throughout his career, Mr. Warm served as attorney for several municipalities, including Deer Park. He practiced for 70 years, closing his downtown office in 1998.

        Mr. Warm bequeathed his extensive collection of books on history and law to the library of the UC College of Law.

        In addition to his daughter, survivors include Elsa P. Warm, his wife of 68 years; a son, Stephen F. Warm of Naples, Fla., and East Hampton, N.Y.; three granddaughters; and five great-grandchildren.

        Services have been held.

        Memorials: J. Louis and Elsa P. Warm Collection, Robert S. Marx Law Library, P.O. Box 210142, Cincinnati 45221-0142.
