History
Union Law School was founded in 1846 by Washington McCartney, and incorporated by the Pennsylvania legislature eight years later, in 1854.[1]
Two of its most notable alumni were U.S. Representative Philip Johnson and Wisconsin state senator Robert L. D. Potter. Potter graduated in the spring of 1857.
In 2000, a historian wrote that the school proved incapable of sustaining itself after McCartney's death, writing that it was "a one-man operation that died with him."[2]
