George Sutherland
George Sutherland was born in England in 1862. His family immigrated to Utah the next year. In 1881 he graduated from Brigham Young Academy, and then passed the bar after studying for a year at University of Michigan School of Law. At first he practiced in Provo with his father, and then partnered with Samuel R. Thurman in 1886, to form Thurman & Sutherland. William King joined the firm two years later.
Each would enjoy brilliant legal and political careers. Sutherland served in the Utah Senate, the U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate, and the United States Supreme Court; Thurman served in the Utah House, and on the Utah Supreme Court, as did King, who also served in the United States Senate.
