Counsels,Teaches In Legal Career
Paul E. Wilson, first assistant to the Kansas attorney general, came to the University in September 1957 as an associate professor of law following an interesting career as a practicing attorney.
Coming to KU was not a new experience for Prof. Wilson. He received both his BA and MA degrees in political science here. He attained his LLB from Washburn University in 1940.
Prof. Wilson teaches criminal law, public law and procedure courses. He finds teaching a very gratifying experience and one which affords him an opportunity to study.
As an assistant to attorney general's Harold R. Fatzer and John Anderson from December 1951 to September 1957, Prof. Wilson had experience in the litigation of many important lawsuits. One that had considerable publicity was the case of Brown vs. Topeka School Board in which he was counsel for the defendant.

"In cases of this kind, where the law of a state is claimed to be unconstitutional, the federal law requires that notice of the suit be given to the governor and attorney general in order that they may defend the state law under attack," said Prof. Wilson.
Went To Washington
When the Brown case was appealed to the Supreme Court, Prof. Wilson went to Washington at the same time four other states' representatives met to argue for the legality of the state law.
In commenting on losing the case. Prof. Wilson said, "Personally, I know of no moral or ethical justification for segregation, but I was interested in the legal question of whether the state of Kansas had power to determine its own policies in the fields of public education."
Bid Research Work After completing his degrees in political science, Prof. Wilson worked in the Research Department
of Kansas Legislative Council until September of 1941 when he went to Ashland to practice law. In July of 1942 he was summoned to military service where he became a troop officer in the corps of engineers with the Far Pacific as his field of duty. He has continued in the army reserves and has the rank of major.
Prof. Wilson practiced law and was county attorney at Lyndon in Osage County from 1946 to 1950 when he accepted the position of attorney in the Department of Social Welfare in the state.
In 1940 he married Harriet Stephens, a KU graduate and a former instructor on the University faculty. The couple has three daughters and a son.
