Charles M. Hosch:

A Professor’s Final Lesson

This video captures a deeply moving moment: Charles's law partners, Kate Morris and Russ Pearlman, stepped in to teach his final class of the semester. What was meant to be Professor Hosch's benediction—his closing words before the exam—became something more: a testament to the legacy he's built over three decades in the classroom. Kate and Russ delivered the message Charles would have insisted on: stay focused, be prepared, think about your futures. But more importantly, they shared the one lesson that transcends any legal doctrine—the principle Charles has lived and taught throughout his career: "Success is not measured by prestige or money. It's measured by living a life of purpose and service to others, surrounded by people you love." This video is for Charles's students, his colleagues, his family, and everyone touched by his thoughtfulness, kindness, and integrity. It's a reminder of what truly matters—and a call to carry forward the values he embodied every single day. Charles didn't just teach the law. He taught us how to live.
