Nathan Green, Jr.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nathan Green, Jr. was one of the founders and the first dean of Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Alabama. He was instrumental in keeping the school alive through the American Civil War and during the Reconstruction period, although his adherence to legal formalism and the devastation wrought by the Civil war are, perhaps, reasons why Cumberland did not follow the institutions of that time like Harvard or Yale. It is also noted that while Cumberland remained impoverished after the Civil War, Green did not. (p.98-99)
