Arnold Rudolph Baar (June 12, 1891 – October 14, 1954) was a judge of the United States Tax Court in 1954.[1]
Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, Baar received his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School in 1914,[2][3][4] and commenced the practice of law that same year.[5]
He joined the Chicago firm of Kixmiller, Baar and Morris in 1917,[2] and eventually became a partner, serving in that role for many years.[4] He and firm partner George Maurice Morris co-authored a book, Hidden Taxes in Corporate Reorganization.[2] In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Baar to a seat on the United States Tax Court, with Baar taking office in April of that year.[4] Baar's appointment was for a term ending in 1960, but Baar died from a heart ailment after serving for only six months, at Evanston Hospital in Evanston, Illinois.[2][3]
