In track, he was the 1982 state champion in both intermediate and high hurdles in the high school's first state championship in track.[4][5] Earning a scholarship to Stanford University, Morris was a four-year letterman on the Stanford Cardinal football team[6] and was the team's starting fullback in the 1986 Gator Bowl.[4] In the Gator Bowl, Morris made 3 carries for 12 rushing yards and made 3 receptions for 6 yards.[7] In his junior and senior years, he was honorable mention all-Pacific-10 Conference and first team all-academic Pac-10.[4] With 12 pass receptions against UCLA in 1985, Morris is one of the Cardinal's all-time single-game pass reception leaders.[8] Morris earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1986 and his Master of Arts in 1987.[1][2][4] As one of only eight students in the United States to earn the NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship, Morris earned his Juris Doctor with distinction from Stanford Law School in 1992.[1][2][4][9][10][5] Legal and judicial careerAfter completing his law degree, Morris served as a law clerk to United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Judge John T.

Completing his clerkship with Noonan, Morris then served as a law clerk to Chief Justice of the United States William Rehnquist.[1][2][9][5] As a former clerk for Chief Justice Rehnquist, Morris is the only member of the Montana State Bar to have served as a Supreme Court law clerk.[11][5] In 1995, he joined the Iran – United States Claims Tribunal at the World Court, The Hague, Netherlands, to serve as a legal assistant. Returning to Montana, Morris served as an attorney in private practice in Bozeman from 1995 until 1999.

Maniaci, in which the Court ruled in favor of a woman's right to joint custody rights of two children adopted by her same-sex partner during their relationship.[12][13] In 2010, he wrote the 4–1 decision in Wilson v. Montana that denying an inmate the use of a particular mental illness medication did not violate the criminal's rights.[14][15] Federal judicial serviceOn March 11, 2013, Senator Max Baucus announced that he will recommend that President Obama nominate Morris to fill the vacancy on the United States District Court for the District of Montana caused by Judge Sam Haddon taking senior status, the vacant seat being located in Great Falls.
