Blewett Harrison Lee (March 1, 1867 – April 18, 1951) was an American legal scholar and corporate attorney who taught at the Northwestern University Law School and University of Chicago Law School, and served as general counsel to the Illinois Central Railroad.
[6] After law school, he pursued a year of graduate studies at the universities in Freiburg and Leipzig, Germany.
[7] Then, Lee was law clerk, or in the parlance of the era served as private secretary, for Associate Justice Horace Gray of the Supreme Court of the United States during the 1889–1890 term.
[15][16] In 1916, he inherited his childhood house in Columbus, Mississippi, which his grandfather had built, and sold the property to the city for use as the site of the Stephen D. Lee High School.
In his later years, he became fascinated with psychic phenomena and spiritualism, publishing several law review articles on the religious freedom implications of prosecution of practitioners.
