He received his primary education in the LaGrange Public school system, pre-law studies at the University of Michigan from 1930-1932, and receiving a law degree from the University of Georgia in 1935. He practiced law from 1935 until 1961.
Following his graduation, Judge Morgan began a distinguished career of public contribution to the State of Georgia, which included service as a member of the General Assembly representing Troup County from 1935-1939; member of the Signal Corps of the United States Army, World War II; city attorney for the City of LaGrange, Ga. 1943-1946; and county attorney for Troup County, Georgia from 1957-1964.
On August 10, 1961 President John F. Kennedy appointed him to serve as judge of the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

Johnson as Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (redesignated the Eleventh Circuit October 1, 1981) until illness forced his retirement in 1996.
