The Robert E. Sullivan Papers contain materials spanning Sullivan’s legal career and the professional and personal causes for which he advocated, from his undergraduate and law school days at the University of Notre Dame (1930s-1940s) through his 24-year tenure as dean of the University of Montana Law School (1955-1979) to his post-academic life and retirement activities (1979-2006).

Biographical Note
Robert Edwin Sullivan was born on August 1, 1917 in Helena, Montana. He was one of seven children born to Catholic parents, Stephen and Elma Sullivan. Though his father had only an eighth-grade education, the elder Sullivan expected each of his sons to attend college. While Robert enrolled in Carroll College (then called Mount St. Charles College) after high school, he also enlisted in the Montana National Guard. When the earthquakes of 1935 required a mobilization of the guard, Sullivan withdrew from college and later worked in a gold mine in Marysville. An inheritance from his paternal grandmother and the acquaintance of football coach with a law degree from the University of Notre Dame ultimately set Sullivan on the path of law.
After completing his undergraduate degree at Notre Dame in 1940, Sullivan accepted an assistant football coaching position with the Fighting Irish. This afforded him the opportunity to continue his legal studies at the university at no cost. When World War II broke out, Sullivan paused his study of law and entered Officer Candidate School, where he was eventually assigned to the Army Air Force Troop Carrier Command. He married Eleanor “Ellie” M. Laux in July of 1943. Shortly before his departure to the European Theater of Operations (ETO) with the air echelon, Sullivan was promoted to commander of the ground echelon, which altered his embarkation mode from air to sea during deployment to England in February 1944. The plane on which he was supposed to travel was lost during the journey with no survivors, deepening Sullivan’s faith. Throughout his service in the ETO, Sullivan attended daily mass and communion with the Catholic priest who served as the group’s chaplain.
After the war ended, Sullivan returned to Notre Dame to finish his law degree. He entered private practice briefly in Ohio before being invited back to Notre Dame as an associate professor of law in 1947. During his seven-year tenure with the Notre Dame law faculty, Sullivan developed a specialty in oil and gas law. In 1954, he accepted a position as professor and assistant dean of the University of Montana Law School in Missoula. In 1955, he assumed the deanship, serving for 24 years until 1978 when he resigned to become vice president and general counsel of Montana Power Company.
During his leadership, Sullivan oversaw and spearheaded significant measures to grow the University of Montana Law School. Milestones include a recognition of the law school as
autonomous within the Montana University System by the Board of Regents; the renewal of full accreditation by the American Bar Association; the construction of the law building in 1961 and an additional wing in 1979; increases of more than triple the volumes in the law library and double the number of law faculty; and consequential work towards the revision and reform of Montana state laws. Upon his retirement, the Board of Regents designated Sullivan as Dean and Professor of Law Emeritus.
In addition to his service as dean, Sullivan was engaged with numerous legal, civic, and religious organizations throughout his career. In 1955, Prentice Hall published his
Handbook of Oil and Gas Law. From 1953-1974, he served as a member of the Legal Committee of the Interstate Oil Compact Commission (IOCC). In 1957, he was appointed by the governor of Montana as a commissioner of the National Conference on Uniform State Laws (NCUSL), an appointment which was renewed by successive governors from both parties every four years until he was named a lifetime member in 1977. He was also a charter trustee and director of the Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation; an editor of the Oil and Gas Reporter and Mineral and Natural Resources Section newsletter; the chairman of multiple state committees including the Advisory Committee for Montana to President Eisenhower’s Commission on Civil Rights, the Montana State Bar Committee on World Peace Through Law, and the Governor’s Committees on Domestic Relations and Revising Montana Corporate Law; a board of directors/board of trustees member of Carroll College, Continuing Legal Education Montana (CLEM), and Montana Eye Bank; president of the St. Patrick’s Hospital Advisory Board and the Catholic High School Board of Education; and director of the American Judicature Society and the First Trust Company, among many other volunteer positions.
Sullivan and his wife were parents to eight children: David, Sheila, Ellen, Maureen, Kathleen, Bridget, Shannon, and Kerry. Their only son, David, was killed in action in Vietnam in 1968. Robert E. Sullivan died on July 25, 2009 in Missoula.
The Robert E. Sullivan Papers contain materials spanning Sullivan’s legal career and the professional and personal causes for which he advocated, from his undergraduate and law school days at the University of Notre Dame (1930s-1940s) through his 24-year tenure as dean of the University of Montana Law School (1955-1979) to his post-academic life and retirement activities (1979-2006).

Court case files, published material, particularly relating to oil and gas law, and a few audio recordings and photographs are also included.

Robert Sullivan held the items in this collection and donated them to the University of Montana at different stages beginning in 1970 and continuing until 2009. Some of the material was donated directly to the Mansfield Library, Archives and Special Collections. Other material was donated first to either the Jameson Law Library or the University of Montana Foundation, and subsequently transferred to Archives and Special Collections with Sullivan’s consent.

Law School News, The Barrister, student handbooks, and legal directories were moved to the University of Montana Publications collection (UPUBs).

Series V
Legislation and Lobbying
1959-1994
4.2 linear feet
Series V is dedicated to Sullivan’s legislative efforts. In 1957, he was appointed by Montana Governor J. Hugo Aronson to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). The organization has since shortened its name to the Uniform Law Commission (ULC). Sullivan was re-appointed as Montana Commissioner every four years by successive governors until he was inducted by the NCCUSL as a lifetime member in 1977 and continued to serve until the 1990s. Over the course of more than 40 years, Sullivan worked on Uniform Laws relating to unclaimed property; anatomical gifts; tribal codes; mineral, oil, and gas; adoption; health care; age of majority; consumer credit; transboundary pollution; and numerous others. This series contains Sullivan’s lobbying efforts with the Montana State Legislature to pass specific Uniform Laws. Materials from his work on a domestic relations bill, Montana corporate code, and judicial reform during the Montana Constitutional era are also included.
This series is arranged predominately by topic in reverse-chronological order.
Annual NCCUSL handbooks, workbooks, conference materials, pamphlets, and brochures were discarded.

Series VII features miscellaneous correspondence, documents from Sullivan’s time as both a student and a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame, records related to his World War II service, photos, and materials spanning his involvement with various religious, civic, and political organizations. Miscellaneous correspondence housed here likely covers topics from other series in this collection.
This series is arranged predominately by topic in reverse-chronological order.
Documents relating to Sullivan’s volunteer activities which contained little context or were perceived to have minimal research value were not retained. Certificates, awards, personal ephemera, and cards were returned to the family.
