Neumann was a trade-union lawyer who became an academic only in exile

Evidence

Up to 1933 he had been a committed lawyer for the trade unions and the SPD, and only in exile had he become a full-time academic. His position was extremely close to that of Harold Laski, who was the principal theoretician of the reformist Labour Party. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 245
