Edward Henry Warren (January 11, 1873 – July 24, 1945), nicknamed "Bull", was an American lawyer, the Weld Professor of Law and the Story Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. There he briefly taught second–year equity law and property law until 1908, and then first–year property law for the rest of his academic career and third–year corporate law until 1929.

Early life and education

Warren was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. After graduating from Worcester Academy, he entered Harvard College in the class of 1895. There he was the editor-in-chief of The Harvard Crimson. He originally studied sociology and economics, but eventually moved "to the more solid law", due to its more accurate nature. He entered Harvard Law School in 1897. He received an LL.B. in 1900.

He is one of the possible models for the character of Kingsfield in the novel The Paper Chase.
