Luther Stearns Cushing (June 22, 1803 – June 22, 1856) was an American jurist. He was born on June 22, 1803, in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and died on June 22, 1856, in Boston.[1][2]
Cushing wrote one of the earliest works on parliamentary procedure, Rules of Proceeding and Debate in Deliberative Assemblies, commonly known as Cushing's Manual. The first edition was published in 1845.[3] It was frequently revised by Cushing. Afterwards, others continued to revise the manual periodically.
He earned his law degree from Harvard Law School, the only member of the 1826 class.[4]
