Beam was the state representative to the Washington based Clark Commission, a group responsible for the first code of professional ethics, and was a former director of the I.U. Alumni Association.
In 1974, he received the distinguished alumni award from the I.U. School of Law and, most recently, a 50 year award from the fellows of the Indiana Bar Foundation, where he was a life patron fellow.
A Navy veteran of World War I, he was a life member of the fellows of the American Bar Association and a member of Mystic Tie Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite, York Rite, the American Legion Robinson Ragsdale Post and Central Christian Church.
Survivors include two sons, Paul Jr. and Dr. Robert Beam.
