Personal and professional papers of a lawyer who practiced in Washington, D.C. and New York City, and was a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States from 1938 to 1946; including general correspondence, material relating to his work with the antitrust division of the United States Justice Department, private legal practice files, and personal papers. Papers relate to a variety of cases; however, the best documentation is of a fertilizer industry investigation, 1939-1940, and a small loan investigation, 1943-1944, done for the Justice Department. Also well documented are claims of German expatriots for property confiscated by Nazi Germany in World War II, handled by Pearce in his private practice working with the Milwaukee law firm of Wengert and Spenner through the Office of Alien Property and the War Claims Commission.
