He was an Assistant United States Attorney of the District of Nebraska from 1930 to 1934, and an instructor at the University of Nebraska College of Law from 1946 to 1957.[1] In 1923, Van Pelt's law firm was that of Stewart, Perry, Stewart, and Van Pelt.[citation needed] In 1930, Van Pelt left this firm and went into practice with Lloyd J.
