McCormick was a professor in the School of Law at the Austin campus of University of Texas (1922-1926 and 1940-1963). During his second tenure there he also served as Dean of the College from 1940-1949.
He was a professor in the School of Law at the University of North Carolina (1926-1931) and Northwestern University (1931-1940). He was Dean of the University of North Carolina's School of Law from 1927 to 1931.
During his tenure as dean, McCormick led the UT Law School through the difficult war years, won approval for a new building, and is widely credited for his efforts to improve the curriculum, the faculty, and the school's national reputation. He was an authority on evidence, damages, and federal court procedure, and published extensively in those areas.
He became involved in the civil rights movement because of several activists' attempts to attain entrance to the then-all-white university. The university's response was to create a colored section of the Law School, with McCormick as Dean.
McCormick authored the 1935 classic, Handbook on the Law of Damages, which continues to be cited in legal opinions as authority. His Handbook on the Law of Evidence remains in print (now edited by a group of professors) and is a standard resource for lawyers and law students.
He was a member of the American Law Institute, the Philosophical Society of Texas, and served as president of the Association of American Law Schools.
