Now, a portrait hanging in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University memorializes him for that achievement and the sterling character he exemplified during his legal career.
Unveiled during a luncheon program Nov. 5 at the law school, the portrait was painted by Ken Corbett in 2006, commissioned that year by the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation from a daguerreotype photograph discovered in the Library of Congress holdings by LDS researcher Patrick Bishop. It was a serendipitous discovery for Brother Bishop, who was working on something else at the time.
