About Wayne Morse - Early Career
|
Wayne Morse took his first law professorship at the University of Oregon School of Law, and within nine months became the dean. At thirty, he was the youngest dean of any ABA-accredited law school in the country. His extraordinary effectiveness as a labor arbitrator eventually consumed Morse's time and energy to the point where he resigned as dean.
Morse's mission as an arbitrator was to uphold what he saw as the sanctity of
the contract, the rule of law in the field of labor relations. Deeply committed
to fairness and justice, he was popular both with unions and employers. He later
served on the National War Labor Board.
