Union Law School
Union Law School was a law school located in Easton, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1846 by Washington McCartney, and incorporated by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1854 as "Union Law School"; and was still operating at the time of his death in 1856.[1] Its alumni included Congressman Philip Johnson and Wisconsin state senator Robert L. D. Potter.
As Potter graduated in the spring of 1857, a historian in 2000 dismissed Union as "a one-man operation that died with him" [i.e., McCartney].[2]
