He married Hope Loraine Edson in\n         1948. They had one adopted son. Laughlin was educated in\n         public schools in Hopkinton, Iowa, and attended Lennox College\n         in that same city. He earned both an L.L.B. in 1929 and an\n         A.B. in 1930 from George Washington University. In 1940 he\n         received an L.L.M. degree from Harvard University. He added a\n         Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.S.D.) degree from the University of\n         Chicago to his credentials in 1942. In 1957, he attended the\n         Academy of International Law at the Hague, Netherlands.","Laughlin practiced in law firms in Washington, D.C. and\n         Chicago during the years 1929-1938. He taught political\n         science at Lennox College in 1931-1932 and again in 1938-1939.\n         In 1940 he began teaching law at Washington and Lee\n         University. In 1942 Laughlin joined the U.S. Army seeing\n         active duty with the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps from\n         1943 to 1946. He continued his service with the JAG corps as a\n         reservist from 1946 to 1960. Returning to the W \u0026 L Law\n         School in 1946, Laughlin was made full professor in 1950. He\n         taught there until his retirement in 1977 when he was named\n         professor emeritus. Laughlin's fields of teaching\n         specialization included evidence, jurisprudence, and labor\n         law. Widely known as an authority in labor arbitration, he\n         served as a federal labor arbitrator from 1973 to 1981.","He accepted several visiting professorships during his\n         career, most notably as a Fulbright lecturer in American law\n         at the University of Helsinki, Finland in 1963-1964. Laughlin\n         was published in numerous law reviews, and he wrote nineteen\n         articles for the ABA Journal. He was a major contributor to\n         the 1982 book Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979: A\n         Biographical Approach published by the University Press of\n         Virginia.","A life-long Republican, Laughlin held positions in local\n         and state party organizations throughout his career. He was\n         twice a delegate to Republican state conventions (Iowa in 1932\n         and Virginia in 1952.) In 1932, he was an unsuccessful\n         candidate for the Iowa state legislature. He also served as\n         chairman of the Lexington (Virginia) Electoral Board. He\n         served as a U.S. Commissioner (later called U.S. Magistrate)\n         during the years 1962-1974.","Professor Laughlin died on January 29, 1985. The faculty\n         lounge in the W \u0026 L law school is named in his honor. In\n         1977, the Law School Association announced the establishment\n         of the Charles V. Laughlin Award, which is given each year to\n         the outstanding oral advocate in the Burks Moot Court\n         Competition.","The Charles V. Laughlin Papers consist of five cubic feet\n         of papers from the years 1940-1981. They are arranged in seven\n         series: Biographical Materials; U.S. Army Service; Washington\n         and Lee School of Law; Research and Writing; Clerkship with\n         Judge H. Emory Widener; U.S. Commissioner \u0026 Magistrate\n         Records; and Arbitration Cases.","The Biographical Materials include a summary of Laughlin's\n         war record, a biographical statement, and various membership\n         cards.","The U.S. Army Service is arranged in four series: \"201\n         File,\" diary, \"log/meetings\" of USAR School, and notebooks.\n         These materials document Laughlin's activities while an active\n         and reserve member of the Judge Advocate General's Corps. The\n         \"201 File\" contains Laughlin's personal copies of documents\n         from his official Army personnel file. The contents are well\n         enumerated in the container list. The last element of this\n         series is the History of the JA Section of the Headquarters\n         Central Pacific Base Command, which Laughlin wrote for the\n         JAG. This history discusses the mission, personnel,\n         administrative decisions, military justice, claims and legal\n         assistance of the JA. The diary and the other small notebooks\n         document daily activities, meetings and courses attended.","The Washington and Lee School of Law materials deal with\n         Laughlin's service on the curriculum committee, Dean's search\n         committee and as a recipient of the Robert E. Lee Research\n         Grant.","The Research and Writing materials related to two projects:\n         Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979: A Biographical\n         Approach and \"Theory of a Two Party System\". The Legal\n         Education in Virginia materials include correspondence,\n         biographical sketches, photocopied articles, and research\n         notes pertaining to Washington and Lee Law School and its\n         faculty. Laughlin collected information, including letters he\n         had solicited from former students, and drafted biographical\n         sketches of deceased W \u0026 L law professors. Twenty-six of\n         these sketches were included by editor W. Hamilton Bryson when\n         this work was published in 1982 by the University Press of\n         Virginia. Among the research materials gathered here is a copy\n         of a draft of \"Chapter XXIV School of Law\" from Ollinger\n         Crenshaw's General Lee's College The Rise and Growth of\n         Washington and Lee University, 1969.","The never published \"Theory of a Two Party System\" was\n         written between 1961 and 1963. The work deals with political\n         party dynamics in modern democratic society, particularly in\n         the United States and England. An abstract of this work\n         appears both in the \"prospectus\" and \"preface.\"","The record of proceedings documenting Laughlin's time as a\n         United States Commissioner (1962-1971) and Magistrate\n         (1972-1974) consists of forms summarizing the facts of each\n         case and giving Laughlin's judgement. These are arranged\n         chronologically. There is also one case file associated with\n         Laughlin's service as commissioner.","The series concerning Laughlin's Clerkship with Judge H.\n         Emory Widener (1974- 1979) of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court\n         begins with one folder of materials concerning the uniform\n         commercial code. The remainder of the materials consists of\n         research, writing and correspondence relating to each case\n         that Laughlin work on. These are arranged by the case docket\n         numbers. This was, apparently, a \"clerkship by mail\", as there\n         is no evidence that Laughlin--who was on the faculty when\n         Widener was a student at W \u0026 L law school--was every in\n         residence in Judge Widener's chambers. This index lists 55\n         arbitrated cases, only 26 of which are represented in these\n         papers. The index provides a notification number, date of\n         notification, source of notification, source number, reason\n         for continuance, grievant, employer, union, issue, hearing\n         number, date of hearing, place of hearing, date of deposition,\n         type, remarks and citations. An annotated explanation and\n         comments sheet accompanies the index of cases.","The Labor Arbitration materials consist primarily of\n         records of Laughlin's work as an arbitrator for the U.S.\n         Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. These records are\n         arranged by case number. Each file contains a worksheet;\n         correspondence; depositions and transcripts; exhibit;, briefs;\n         and union agreements. An index to the docket of cases\n         arbitrated precedes all of the case files.","These case files are followed by five cases in which\n         Laughlin acted as a consultant or as an arbitrator, but not,\n         apparently, under the auspices of the U.S. Federal Mediation\n         and Conciliation Service. Finally, there are papers concerning\n         Laughlin's labor relations consulting work with the Chamber of\n         Commerce and Industry of Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands\n         Antilles.","\"201 File\" Correspondence \n                Basic records \n                Service Courses \n                Orders \n                Clearances \n                Medical Records \n                Performance \n                Points \n                Retirement \n                Qualifications \n                Property \u0026 Finances \n                Bulletins \u0026 Information \n                Reserve Organizations \n                Military Work done \n                Judge Advocate Staff Memos \n                \"History of the JA Section of the Headquarters,\n               Central Pacific Base Command\"","Orientation Rules, 1943 \n                Roll Call of JAG, 1954-1955 \n                Articles of War","Curriculum Committee \n                Dean's Search Committee \n                Robert E.

Emory Widener; U.S. Commissioner \u0026amp; Magistrate\n         Records; and Arbitration Cases.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Biographical Materials include a summary of Laughlin's\n         war record, a biographical statement, and various membership\n         cards.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. Army Service is arranged in four series: \"201\n         File,\" diary, \"log/meetings\" of USAR School, and notebooks.\n         These materials document Laughlin's activities while an active\n         and reserve member of the Judge Advocate General's Corps. The\n         \"201 File\" contains Laughlin's personal copies of documents\n         from his official Army personnel file. The contents are well\n         enumerated in the container list. The last element of this\n         series is the History of the JA Section of the Headquarters\n         Central Pacific Base Command, which Laughlin wrote for the\n         JAG. This history discusses the mission, personnel,\n         administrative decisions, military justice, claims and legal\n         assistance of the JA. The diary and the other small notebooks\n         document daily activities, meetings and courses attended.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Washington and Lee School of Law materials deal with\n         Laughlin's service on the curriculum committee, Dean's search\n         committee and as a recipient of the Robert E. Lee Research\n         Grant.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Research and Writing materials related to two projects:\n         Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979: A Biographical\n         Approach and \"Theory of a Two Party System\". The Legal\n         Education in Virginia materials include correspondence,\n         biographical sketches, photocopied articles, and research\n         notes pertaining to Washington and Lee Law School and its\n         faculty. Laughlin collected information, including letters he\n         had solicited from former students, and drafted biographical\n         sketches of deceased W \u0026amp; L law professors. Twenty-six of\n         these sketches were included by editor W. Hamilton Bryson when\n         this work was published in 1982 by the University Press of\n         Virginia. Among the research materials gathered here is a copy\n         of a draft of \"Chapter XXIV School of Law\" from Ollinger\n         Crenshaw's General Lee's College The Rise and Growth of\n         Washington and Lee University, 1969.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe never published \"Theory of a Two Party System\" was\n         written between 1961 and 1963. The work deals with political\n         party dynamics in modern democratic society, particularly in\n         the United States and England. An abstract of this work\n         appears both in the \"prospectus\" and \"preface.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe record of proceedings documenting Laughlin's time as a\n         United States Commissioner (1962-1971) and Magistrate\n         (1972-1974) consists of forms summarizing the facts of each\n         case and giving Laughlin's judgement. These are arranged\n         chronologically. There is also one case file associated with\n         Laughlin's service as commissioner.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe series concerning Laughlin's Clerkship with Judge H.\n         Emory Widener (1974- 1979) of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court\n         begins with one folder of materials concerning the uniform\n         commercial code. The remainder of the materials consists of\n         research, writing and correspondence relating to each case\n         that Laughlin work on. These are arranged by the case docket\n         numbers. This was, apparently, a \"clerkship by mail\", as there\n         is no evidence that Laughlin--who was on the faculty when\n         Widener was a student at W \u0026amp; L law school--was every in\n         residence in Judge Widener's chambers. This index lists 55\n         arbitrated cases, only 26 of which are represented in these\n         papers. The index provides a notification number, date of\n         notification, source of notification, source number, reason\n         for continuance, grievant, employer, union, issue, hearing\n         number, date of hearing, place of hearing, date of deposition,\n         type, remarks and citations. An annotated explanation and\n         comments sheet accompanies the index of cases.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Labor Arbitration materials consist primarily of\n         records of Laughlin's work as an arbitrator for the U.S.\n         Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. These records are\n         arranged by case number. Each file contains a worksheet;\n         correspondence; depositions and transcripts; exhibit;, briefs;\n         and union agreements. An index to the docket of cases\n         arbitrated precedes all of the case files.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThese case files are followed by five cases in which\n         Laughlin acted as a consultant or as an arbitrator, but not,\n         apparently, under the auspices of the U.S. Federal Mediation\n         and Conciliation Service. Finally, there are papers concerning\n         Laughlin's labor relations consulting work with the Chamber of\n         Commerce and Industry of Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands\n         Antilles.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cemph render=\"bold\"\u003e\"201 File\"\u003c/emph\u003e\u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eCorrespondence \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eBasic records \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eService Courses \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eOrders \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eClearances \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eMedical Records \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003ePerformance \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003ePoints \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eRetirement \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eQualifications \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eProperty \u0026amp; Finances \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eBulletins \u0026amp; Information \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eReserve Organizations \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eMilitary Work done \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eJudge Advocate Staff Memos \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003e\"History of the JA Section of the Headquarters,\n               Central Pacific Base Command\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eOrientation Rules, 1943 \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eRoll Call of JAG, 1954-1955 \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eArticles of War\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eCurriculum Committee \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eDean's Search Committee \n               \u003clb\u003e\u003c/lb\u003eRobert E.

He married Hope Loraine Edson in\n         1948. They had one adopted son. Laughlin was educated in\n         public schools in Hopkinton, Iowa, and attended Lennox College\n         in that same city. He earned both an L.L.B. in 1929 and an\n         A.B. in 1930 from George Washington University. In 1940 he\n         received an L.L.M. degree from Harvard University. He added a\n         Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.S.D.) degree from the University of\n         Chicago to his credentials in 1942. In 1957, he attended the\n         Academy of International Law at the Hague, Netherlands.","Laughlin practiced in law firms in Washington, D.C. and\n         Chicago during the years 1929-1938. He taught political\n         science at Lennox College in 1931-1932 and again in 1938-1939.\n         In 1940 he began teaching law at Washington and Lee\n         University. In 1942 Laughlin joined the U.S. Army seeing\n         active duty with the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps from\n         1943 to 1946. He continued his service with the JAG corps as a\n         reservist from 1946 to 1960. Returning to the W \u0026 L Law\n         School in 1946, Laughlin was made full professor in 1950. He\n         taught there until his retirement in 1977 when he was named\n         professor emeritus. Laughlin's fields of teaching\n         specialization included evidence, jurisprudence, and labor\n         law. Widely known as an authority in labor arbitration, he\n         served as a federal labor arbitrator from 1973 to 1981.","He accepted several visiting professorships during his\n         career, most notably as a Fulbright lecturer in American law\n         at the University of Helsinki, Finland in 1963-1964. Laughlin\n         was published in numerous law reviews, and he wrote nineteen\n         articles for the ABA Journal. He was a major contributor to\n         the 1982 book Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979: A\n         Biographical Approach published by the University Press of\n         Virginia.","A life-long Republican, Laughlin held positions in local\n         and state party organizations throughout his career. He was\n         twice a delegate to Republican state conventions (Iowa in 1932\n         and Virginia in 1952.) In 1932, he was an unsuccessful\n         candidate for the Iowa state legislature. He also served as\n         chairman of the Lexington (Virginia) Electoral Board. He\n         served as a U.S. Commissioner (later called U.S. Magistrate)\n         during the years 1962-1974.","Professor Laughlin died on January 29, 1985. The faculty\n         lounge in the W \u0026 L law school is named in his honor. In\n         1977, the Law School Association announced the establishment\n         of the Charles V.

This was, apparently, a \"clerkship by mail\", as there\n         is no evidence that Laughlin--who was on the faculty when\n         Widener was a student at W \u0026amp; L law school--was every in\n         residence in Judge Widener's chambers. This index lists 55\n         arbitrated cases, only 26 of which are represented in these\n         papers.

The\n         \"201 File\" contains Laughlin's personal copies of documents\n         from his official Army personnel file. The contents are well\n         enumerated in the container list. The last element of this\n         series is the History of the JA Section of the Headquarters\n         Central Pacific Base Command, which Laughlin wrote for the\n         JAG. This history discusses the mission, personnel,\n         administrative decisions, military justice, claims and legal\n         assistance of the JA. The diary and the other small notebooks\n         document daily activities, meetings and courses attended.","The Washington and Lee School of Law materials deal with\n         Laughlin's service on the curriculum committee, Dean's search\n         committee and as a recipient of the Robert E. Lee Research\n         Grant.","The Research and Writing materials related to two projects:\n         Legal Education in Virginia, 1779-1979: A Biographical\n         Approach and \"Theory of a Two Party System\". The Legal\n         Education in Virginia materials include correspondence,\n         biographical sketches, photocopied articles, and research\n         notes pertaining to Washington and Lee Law School and its\n         faculty. Laughlin collected information, including letters he\n         had solicited from former students, and drafted biographical\n         sketches of deceased W \u0026 L law professors. Twenty-six of\n         these sketches were included by editor W. Hamilton Bryson when\n         this work was published in 1982 by the University Press of\n         Virginia. Among the research materials gathered here is a copy\n         of a draft of \"Chapter XXIV School of Law\" from Ollinger\n         Crenshaw's General Lee's College The Rise and Growth of\n         Washington and Lee University, 1969.","The never published \"Theory of a Two Party System\" was\n         written between 1961 and 1963.

This was, apparently, a \"clerkship by mail\", as there\n         is no evidence that Laughlin--who was on the faculty when\n         Widener was a student at W \u0026 L law school--was every in\n         residence in Judge Widener's chambers. This index lists 55\n         arbitrated cases, only 26 of which are represented in these\n         papers. The index provides a notification number, date of\n         notification, source of notification, source number, reason\n         for continuance, grievant, employer, union, issue, hearing\n         number, date of hearing, place of hearing, date of deposition,\n         type, remarks and citations. An annotated explanation and\n         comments sheet accompanies the index of cases.","The Labor Arbitration materials consist primarily of\n         records of Laughlin's work as an arbitrator for the U.S.\n         Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. These records are\n         arranged by case number. Each file contains a worksheet;\n         correspondence; depositions and transcripts; exhibit;, briefs;\n         and union agreements. An index to the docket of cases\n         arbitrated precedes all of the case files.","These case files are followed by five cases in which\n         Laughlin acted as a consultant or as an arbitrator, but not,\n         apparently, under the auspices of the U.S. Federal Mediation\n         and Conciliation Service. Finally, there are papers concerning\n         Laughlin's labor relations consulting work with the Chamber of\n         Commerce and Industry of Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands\n         Antilles.","\"201 File\" Correspondence \n                Basic records \n                Service Courses \n                Orders \n                Clearances \n                Medical Records \n                Performance \n                Points \n                Retirement \n                Qualifications \n                Property \u0026 Finances \n                Bulletins \u0026 Information \n                Reserve Organizations \n                Military Work done \n                Judge Advocate Staff Memos \n                \"History of the JA Section of the Headquarters,\n               Central Pacific Base Command\"","Orientation Rules, 1943 \n                Roll Call of JAG, 1954-1955 \n                Articles of War","Curriculum Committee \n                Dean's Search Committee \n                Robert E.

In\n         1900, he was appointed dean of the law school.

He was an unsuccessful\n         candidate for the nomination for Virginia governor in both\n         1909 and 1921.

Between college and law school, Turk served in the U.S. Army in World War II.  Wed to the former Barbara Louise Duncan in 1954, they went on to have five children.  He was active in many community and educational organizations as a board member or trustee.","He practiced law at the Radford firm of Dalton, Poff \u0026 Turk.  In 1959, Turk was elected to the Virginia Senate where he served as minority leader from 1965-1972.  President Richard M. Nixon appointed Turk to a federal judgeship in the Western District of Virginia in 1972.  From 1973-1993, he acted as Chief Judge of the Western District. During these years, he presided over several high profile cases including the 1981 libel case that the Rev. Jerry Falwell brought against Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. Though he took senior status in 2002, he served the court until his death on July 6, 2014 at his home in Claytor Lake, Virginia. \n ","The James C.

It is unclear at this point as to their research value.  Many are unreported, not found in the commercial electronic legal databases, and not shown to be available yet from the National Archives.","Surely the most distinctive series is Judge Turk's correspondence with convicts.  Turk was known for his empathy with defendants and his aversion to excessively harsh sentences.  That he once sentenced a man to prison and presided at his wedding on the same day - Valentine's Day, at that - suggests the complex connections he made with those appearing before him.   These connections are evident throughout this correspondence.","These papers are open to the general public but, as has been suggested above, much more refined processing will be needed to make the information contained here easily accessible.

He received his B.A. from Washington and Lee University\n         in 1910, and his law degree from Louisiana State University in\n         1920. That same year, he began his law practice with the firm\n         of Smitherman \u0026 Tucker. At the time of his death in 1984,\n         he was the senior partner of Tucker, Jeter \u0026 Jackson.\n         Tucker married Hortense Rigby, a native of Mansfield, Ohio, in\n         1924.","Tucker began his service with the U.S. Army on the Mexican\n         border in 1916. During World War I, he served as aide-de-camp\n         to General W.P. Richardson in France and northern Russia. He\n         was recalled to active service in 1940 as provost-marshal of\n         Camp Beauregard. In World War II he served in the Army Air\n         Forces where he earned the rank of full Colonel. He retired\n         from the Army in 1951.","When the state legislature created the Louisiana State Law\n         Institute in 1938, Tucker was elected its first president, a\n         post he held until 1965. The institute worked to modernize\n         civil procedure and codify criminal law. Tucker was considered\n         an authority on the Napoleonic Code and authored Sources Books\n         of Louisiana Law. Active on civic boards and a trustee of the\n         First Presbyterian Church of Shreveport, Tucker received\n         numerous awards and honorary degrees, including an honorary\n         doctor of laws degree from Washington and Lee in 1958.","Tucker amassed a 12,000 volume personal law library which\n         was donated to the Louisiana State University Law School.\n         Because of his love of legal literature, and in recognition of\n         his $2.75 million bequest to Washington and Lee, the\n         University designated the faculty library in the School of Law\n         as the Hortense Rigby and John H. Tucker, Jr. Faculty Law\n         Library in 1985.","These papers are arranged in two series: 1) Personal\n         Papers, 1938-1940 and 2) U.S. Army Papers, 1916-1942. The\n         Personal Papers include the subseries Biographical Materials\n         (1 folder); General Correspondence, 1918-1981 (bulk\n         1940-1943); \"Some Notes on Guns, Shooting and Hunting,\"\n         1946-1947; 1 folder .75 cu.ft.; Printed Materials; and\n         Photographs. The U.S. Army Papers series includes the\n         subseries World War I, Camp Beauregard, and World War II. Each\n         of these subseries contain several of the following forms of\n         materials: orders, memoranda, training materials, clippings,\n         and photos. The Camp Beauregard subseries also contains a\n         diary kept by Tucker.","These papers, which treat only a small fragment of Tucker's\n         life, most heavily document his Army experiences in both World\n         War I and World War II. Tucker was also involved in the vital\n         training exercises in Louisiana that prepared U.S. troops for\n         combat in the time immediately preceding America's entry into\n         World War II. Some of this activity is documented in the Camp\n         Beauregard portion of these papers which includes Tucker's\n         diary from that time.","The personal correspondence contains a few letters from the\n         World War I period and some from post-World War II. The\n         preponderance of this series, however, is from the time\n         immediately preceding United States entry into World War II\n         and during the first year of American involvement in that war.\n         Though there are some carbon copy letters of reply by Tucker,\n         most of the letters are incoming. Though many letters deal\n         with the military and the war, there is a range of subjects\n         treated including: Tucker's law firm business and individual\n         cases in which he was interested; business of the Louisiana\n         State Law Institute; personal business; and family\n         matters.","The photographs include almost 350 prints of German aerial\n         reconnaissance of western Europe during World War I. There is\n         no record of how Tucker came into possession of these photos.\n         The maps are primarily military situation maps from World War\n         I (France and Archangel, Russia) and 1940 U.S. Army\n         maneuvers.","English"],"unitid_tesim":["Ms 008"],"normalized_title_ssm":["John H.

Having already read law for a year in\n         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree\n         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in\n         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of\n         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the\n         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had\n         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.\n         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the\n         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis\n         chose the \"rough \u0026 tumble\" of private practice. Two years\n         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee\n         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again\n         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected\n         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to\n         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on\n         its board of trustees.","Davis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During\n         this period he was active in West Virginia and national\n         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House\n         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the\n         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had\n         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year\n         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.\n         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the\n         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of\n         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great\n         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become\n         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and\n         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U.

Having already read law for a year in\n         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree\n         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in\n         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of\n         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the\n         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had\n         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.\n         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the\n         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis\n         chose the \"rough \u0026 tumble\" of private practice. Two years\n         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee\n         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again\n         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected\n         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to\n         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on\n         its board of trustees.","Davis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During\n         this period he was active in West Virginia and national\n         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House\n         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the\n         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had\n         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year\n         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.\n         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the\n         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of\n         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great\n         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become\n         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and\n         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.\n         Steel.","In 1922, the same year he served as president of the\n         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.\n         S. Supreme Court. In 1924 he became the Democratic nominee for\n         president. He waged a conservative, high-minded and losing\n         campaign against Calvin Coolidge. He left the political arena,\n         only reemerging briefly in the 1930's as an organizer of the\n         anti-New Deal Liberty league.","For the rest of his career, he devoted himself to his\n         private practice. By his death in 1955 he had made 139 oral\n         arguments before the Supreme Court, at the time a 20th century\n         record. Davis was honored in his lifetime by fourteen honorary\n         doctorates. Felix Frankfurter, Learned Hand, and Hugo Black,\n         among others, deemed him one of the two or three finest\n         advocates of the century.","Davis' lifelong fidelity to the conservative legal\n         principles espoused by his father and by the Washington and\n         Lee law faculty at the time he was a student make for a\n         seemingly inconsistent record of advocacy. He may be best\n         remembered for successfully defending the steel industry\n         against government seizure during the Korean War, and for\n         unsuccessfully arguing South Carolina's case for maintaining\n         segregated schools in the school desegregation cases now known\n         jointly as Brown v. Board of Education. But Davis' second case\n         as Solicitor General made a strong argument against Oklahoma's\n         \"grandfather clause\" excluding blacks from voting (Guinn v.\n         United States). He spoke in defense of religious liberty in\n         the 1928 presidential campaign when candidate Al Smith was\n         attacked because of his Catholicism. In a 1931 pro bono case,\n         Davis defended a Yale divinity professor in a case (United\n         States v. Macintosh) that became a leading precedent in the\n         development of the law of conscientious objection. During the\n         Cold War, Davis was contemptuous of McCarthyite tactics. He\n         was involved both in the Alger Hiss case and in preparing the\n         appeal of J. Robert Oppenheimer to the Atomic Energy\n         Commission for security clearance.","Related Manuscript Collections Researchers should note that the bulk of the papers\n               of John W.

Having already read law for a year in\n         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree\n         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in\n         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of\n         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the\n         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had\n         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.\n         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the\n         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis\n         chose the \"rough \u0026 tumble\" of private practice. Two years\n         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee\n         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again\n         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected\n         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to\n         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on\n         its board of trustees.","Davis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During\n         this period he was active in West Virginia and national\n         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House\n         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the\n         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had\n         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year\n         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.\n         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the\n         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of\n         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great\n         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become\n         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and\n         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.\n         Steel.","In 1922, the same year he served as president of the\n         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.\n         S. Supreme Court. In 1924 he became the Democratic nominee for\n         president. He waged a conservative, high-minded and losing\n         campaign against Calvin Coolidge. He left the political arena,\n         only reemerging briefly in the 1930's as an organizer of the\n         anti-New Deal Liberty league.","For the rest of his career, he devoted himself to his\n         private practice. By his death in 1955 he had made 139 oral\n         arguments before the Supreme Court, at the time a 20th century\n         record. Davis was honored in his lifetime by fourteen honorary\n         doctorates.
