Rufus Cormier, retired partner at Baker Botts, never planned to go into law. But a campus protest during his junior year at Southern Methodist University changed everything. 
It started when the school’s Black students decided to occupy the president’s office and demand that more Black students and faculty be recruited to the school. After a couple of days the college’s president organized a meeting between two representatives of the Black campus community and the university’s law school. Cormier, an All-Southwest Conference nose tackle who played alongside future Houston Oiler Jerry LeVias, was named one of those representatives.
