Does anyone know what type of law Eric P. Newman practiced?

I did a search on Google and I could not readily find the answer. Does anyone know? I am just curious. It would be interesting to see which publically reported cases he handled, and whether there were any significant ones.

Write and ask him. He has always responded to all questions I have sent him.

Eric graduated from John Burroughs School in 1928, where he was "astounded to discover how much there was to know and excited to learn how to tackle it." His enthusiasm continued at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1932. "It was the depths of the Depression," he recalls, "and there were no jobs. I was offered a part-time position in a law firm in St. Louis—and my family lived a block away from Washington University—so I decided to attend the School of Law." He graduated in 1935 and joined the firm where he had been employed as a student. Following World War II, he began his career at Edison Brothers Stores, Inc., where he was an officer and served on the board until his retirement. In 1988, he became president of the Harry Edison Foundation, serving until January 2005.

Eric was counsel to Edison Brothers, Inc., which started as a family shoe business and grew into a large publicly traded corporation I am unsure whether he ever practiced privately.
