...Morton: "I think we've got a real law office here." Obscured by Brownell's political reputation was the fact that he is a crackerjack lawyer. He led his Yale Law School class, edited the Law Journal, won an Order of the Coif (he was Phi Beta Kappa from his home-state University of Nebraska), and is still considered by two former deans to rank among the finest students in Yale history.
