Rex E. Lee

Imagine a very important job where you help the government with its biggest legal puzzles. That's what Rex E. Lee did! He was a lawyer who worked for the United States government. He was like a legal superhero, helping to figure out the right way to do things. He was born a long, long time ago, in 1935, and he loved learning and helping people understand the law.

Rex E. Lee had a really special job called the Solicitor General. This means he was the lawyer who spoke for the whole country in front of the highest court, the Supreme Court! He argued 59 cases there, which is like winning 59 big games. He was so good at his job that he helped make the Solicitor General's office super important for making laws.

When Rex wasn't busy being a top lawyer, he was also a super smart teacher and leader at a big university called Brigham Young University (BYU). He was even the president of the whole university! He also helped start the law school there, which is like building a brand new playground for future lawyers to learn and play.

Did you know Rex E. Lee was so good at his job that he argued cases in front of the nine judges of the Supreme Court? That's like talking to the principal and all the teachers at once! He also helped make sure the government followed the rules, which is super important for keeping everything fair for everyone.
