About

Harry Blackmun describes his time as a Harvard Law School student and his early years working in the courts. He shares that working two jobs during the majority of his time in law school was the only way he could afford to continue. After the graduated, he returned to Minnesota and was soon offered a clerkship for Judge Sanborn of the 8th Circuit Court. After 17 months, and a salary cut due to the Great Depression, he began working at the Dorsey law office, soon becoming their tax lawyer, although he had no prior experience. Blackmun taught night classes at local law schools to help make ends meet and shares that it was during this time when he met his wife, Dottie.
