Edwin L. Strand was thirty-four years old when he graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School. He then joined one of the elite firms in Minneapolis: Kingman, Cross, Morley, Cant & Taylor. He worked there until his death at age fifty on May 18, 1944. In memorial proceedings for the Hennepin County Bar Association the following year, he was recalled:
"He was a keen and careful student of the law and took a special delight in turning out excellent work. Ed had a faculty of being able to quickly analyze a fact situation in relation to the legal principles involved, and his associates are keenly aware of the great contribution he made their combined efforts. When any particularly difficult legal situation arose, his partners were always anxious to know how Ed felt about it and what he thought the problems were and how they should be resolved."
