Born September 29, 1916, in Chicago, Illinois, Cummings received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1937 from Yale University and a Bachelor of Laws in 1940 from Harvard Law School.
At Yale, he served on the business staff of campus humor magazine The Yale Record with Roy D. Chapin Jr. and James S. Copley.
He served as Assistant Solicitor General and Special Assistant Attorney General at the United States Department of Justice from 1940 to 1946.

In 1946, Cummings joined the Chicago law firm now known as Sidley Austin as a partner.
He served as United States Solicitor General from 1952 to 1953.
He remained at the firm until 1966, taking his only leave of absence to become Solicitor General of the United States after President Truman’s December 1, 1952 appointment.
At age 36, Cummings was the youngest Solicitor general to serve in the position.
His short Solicitor General service (from December 1952–March 1953) was during the transitional period between the presidencies of Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In Sprogis v. United Airlines (1971), Cummings ruled that United Airlines's requirement that female employees be unmarried but allowing male employees to be married constitutes sex discrimination and violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
In 1979, Cummings ruled in Carroll v. Talman Federal Savings And Loan Association of Chicago that requiring female employees to wear uniforms while allowing male employees to wear suits of their choice constitutes sex discrimination.
Cummings cited his earlier ruling in Sprogis for his ruling in Carroll.
He served as Chief Judge and as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1981 to 1986.
