Tucker was elected to the

and served four terms. He thereupon returned to Washington and Lee, where he became the professor of

equity
in 1897. Three years later he was made
Dean
of the
Law School

He moved to Washington, D.C., and became dean of the
school of law at Columbian University
(now

Jamestown Exposition
and of the American Bar Association.
Tucker unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for
governor
in 1909 and 1921. He returned to Congress in 1922, after a hiatus of nearly 25 years, when he was elected to the
