Milton Irving Shadur (born June 25, 1924) is a Senior United States District Court Judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Shadur received a B.S. from the University of Chicago in 1943 and was a lieutenant (junior grade) in the United States Navy during World War II, from 1943 to 1946. He then received a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School in 1949, entering private practice in Chicago, Illinois from 1949 to 1980. On April 2, 1980, Shadur was nominated by President Jimmy Carter to a seat on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois vacated by Hubert L. Will. Shadur was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 21, 1980, and received his commission on May 23, 1980. He assumed senior status on June 25, 1992. ==Controversies== On January 29, 2010, a federal appeals court reviewing a decision by Shadur reversed it and remanded the case to a different judge, claiming that Shadur had been too lenient in sentencing a well-known former Chicago lawyer and politician to probation in a corruption case and had committed gross procedural errors.〔(7th Cir.
