Background
Arthur W. Hughes's formative years are documented mainly through his higher education. He pursued undergraduate study at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, before moving into legal training in New England.
His professional life developed in the years after the Second World War, when American legal education and bar admission were governed largely by individual states. Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, remained the principal center of the state's legal profession, and his later practice was centered there.
Education
Hughes completed his undergraduate studies at Franklin & Marshall College, a private liberal arts college in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The college was formed in 1853 through the merger of Franklin College, founded in 1787, and Marshall College, giving it a long tradition of classical and liberal arts education in central Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor of Arts in 1964.
He then attended Boston University School of Law, the law school of Boston University, which was established in 1872. He received the Bachelor of Laws degree in 1967, the same year he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. Completing legal study in Massachusetts prepared him for the state's bar examination and for practice in Boston.

He is documented as a partner in a legal practice associated with S Eggeuno, which places his professional activity within the business and corporate practice of the Boston legal community.
