Before joining the Washington University faculty, he had taught at Ohio State, Columbia and Yale Laws Schools. Prior to law school teaching, he served as counsel to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Labor, chaired by Hubert H. Humphrey, and to Senator Wayne Morse; he also was special counsel to Senator John F.
