Marcus T. Hun

Marcus Tullius Hun (May 22, 1845 – February 28, 1920) was a New York lawyer who served as the state's Supreme Court Reporter for 32 years, from his appointment in 1874 up to his retirement, in the fall of 1905.

[1] In 1874 Hun was appointed Supreme Court Reporter, which position he held for 32 years, until the fall of 1905.

[4] Upon his retirement, a resolution was published in 108 App Div xlv stating: The unvarying accuracy of his reports, and their complete fulfilment of the requirements of an ideal standard of excellence, afford abundant evidence of the sedulous and painstaking care which he has bestowed upon their preparation, as well as of the unusual skill and judgment which he has brought to the discharge of a difficult and onerous duty.

His long-continued efforts for the improvement of the reporting system of this State constitute a distinguished public service which merits and has received the universal approval both of the bench and the bar.

[1][2] On June 13, 1905, the board of trustees of Union College conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.
