A lieutenant in the Marine Corps, John Keker served as an infantry platoon leader in Vietnam until he was wounded and retired in 1967. Mr. Keker is a longtime supporter of Swords to Plowshares and is recognized as one of the top trial lawyers in the United States.
A graduate of Arizona State University (B.A., J.D.) and the University of Virginia (LL.M.), Judge Hawkins was appointed by President Clinton and commenced service as a United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit on September 15, 1994. Judge Hawkins served to the rank of Captain in the United States Marine Corps (1970-73). He engaged in the private practice of law from 1973 to 1977 and again from 1980 to 1994, interrupted by service as United States Attorney for the District of Arizona (1977-80). While in private practice, he frequently served as a Judge Pro Tempore of the Arizona Court of Appeals. A 1995 recipient of ASU’s Alumni Achievement Award, he also was honored in 2003 by the State Bar of Arizona with its James Walsh Outstanding Jurist Award. In 2006, ASU’s College of Law presented him with the John S. Lancy Award, recognizing him as an outstanding law journal alumnus. He maintains his chambers in Phoenix, Arizona.

Far too many of our nation’s former servicemembers live in poverty and without a home: nearly one-third of all homeless people in San Francisco are veterans. Swords to Plowshares
helps these men and women regain their place in society by providing comprehensive services including counseling, case management, employment support, legal assistance and housing. With the support of our community, Swords to Plowshares has helped thousands of veterans regain respect and control over their lives.
