Daniel Anthony Manion (born February 1, 1942) is a senior jurist on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit whose chambers are located in South Bend, Indiana.
Daniel Manion received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 1964. His father, Clarence Manion (1896-1979), was dean of Notre Dame Law School and president of the Manion Forum, a conservative radio and television program. His mother, Virginia O'Brien Manion, was a well-known owner and trainer of Arabian horses.
At Notre Dame, Daniel Manion was a participant in the Bengal Bouts, a boxing tournament. Following graduation, Manion served in the Army in the Vietnam War. He was appointed the Director of Industrial Development for the Indiana Department of Commerce in 1968. While serving in this position, Manion attended night school at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1973. After a brief stint in the state attorney general's office, Manion entered the private practice of law, where he remained until his confirmation. He served as an Indiana state senator from 1978–82.
On February 21, 1986, President Ronald Reagan nominated Manion for the bench, to a seat vacated by Wilbur Frank Pell, Jr.. In a radio address to the nation, President Reagan stated, "I know [Daniel Manion] to be a person who has the ability and determination to become the kind of judge the American people want in the Federal courts; one who believes in the rule of law, who reveres the Constitution, and whose sense of fairness and justice is above reproach."
The ABA rated Manion "qualified/unqualified". The nomination was controversial, but Manion was confirmed on June 26, 1986, and received his commission on July 24, 1986. Manion assumed senior status on December 18, 2007, but continues to hear cases regularly.
