A professor of law at the University of Texas from 1925 until his death in 1964, Stumberg
was a nationally recognized authority on conflict of laws, criminal law, and admiralty, and
his textbooks on these subjects were used in law schools across the U.S. Recognized as an
outstanding teacher, he was promoted to the rank of "distinguished professor" in 1941. He
held law degrees from Columbia and Yale, was a Rhodes Scholar in 1913-1914, and taught law
at his alma mater, Louisiana State University, before coming to Texas. During World War II
he worked for the Board of Economic Warfare.
