Arthur Dean (lawyer)
Arthur Hobson Dean (1898–1987) was a New York lawyer and diplomat who was viewed as one of the leading corporate lawyers of his day, as well having served as a key advisor to numerous U.S. presidents.[1]
Dean was chairman and senior partner of Sullivan & Cromwell, where he worked closely with John Foster Dulles. He was the chief U.S. negotiator at Panmunjeom where he helped negotiate the Korean Armistice Agreement, which ended the Korean War,[2][3] and also helped draft and negotiate the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963.[4] Dean was a member (and later served on the Board of Directors) of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Asia Society and served as a delegate to the United Nations. He was a member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group.[5]
An Ithaca, New York native, Dean was educated at Ithaca High School and then Cornell University. After serving in the United States Navy during World War I, he received both a bachelor's and LL.B degree from Cornell, in 1921 and 1923, respectively, and was the managing editor of the Cornell Law Quarterly[6] Dean's official papers are maintained at Cornell University Library, of which he was a major patron.[7]
