Charles Evans Hughes, Part-Time Distinguished Lecturer from 1893 to Early 1900s

Charles Evans Hughes, pictured here as New York\u27s Governor in 1908, had been a student of Theodore Dwight and George Chase at Columbia Law School. In 1893, Dean Chase engaged Hughes as a Distinguished Part-Time Lecturer. Hughes taught insolvency law and bankruptcy law until the early 1900s. At the time, he was a practicing lawyer at the firm known today as Hughes, Hubbard & Reed. Hughes brought other members of his firm into part-time teaching at NYLS. They included Edward Dwight (Dean Dwight\u27s nephew), Frederic Kellogg, and George Schurman.https://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/origins/1018/thumbnail.jp
