Over the course of his career as a judge, Hoffman presided over numerous important cases, including a tax evasion case against Tony Accardo, a deportation suit against alleged Nazi war criminal Frank Walus and desgregation suits. His most famous case, however, was the Chicago Seven Trial from April 9, 1969 to February 20, 1970. Although the jury voted seven to five to acquit two of the defendants, Judge Hoffman sentenced all seven of them to five years in prison and a fine of $5,000 each. On May 11, 1972, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed all of the contempt convictions, and on November 21, 1972, reversed all of the jury convictions, because the court had not sufficiently measured the biases of the jury and because of Judge Hoffman's "deprecatory and often antagonistic attitude toward the defense".
