Sutherland has taught at Cornell since 1947 and is Commissioner on Uniform State Laws for the State of New York. He was graduated from Wesleyan in 1922, and from the Law School in 1925. From then until 1941 he was associated with his father in private practice in Rochester, New York.
From 1941 to 1946 Sutherland was in the Army in Africa and Europe. He helped plan the North African invasion, and subsequently went through the Normandy invasion with the Ninth Army.
Surrey received his B.S. from CCNY in 1929, and his LL.B. from Columbia Law School in 1932. From his graduation until he began teaching at California in 1947, he was in government work. He was tax legislative counsel of the Treasury Department from 1942 to 1947, and is chief reporter of the Income Tax Project of the American Law Institute.
