36 Iowa Law Review described Rutledge as a teacher of law who had “the happy faculty of arousing the interest and latent talents of his students, and of stimulating their best efforts. He was especially attracted by young people and his sincere and genuine interest in his students was rewarded by their warm and abiding affection.
