Brito completed his schooling at the Instituto Juárez de Tabasco and graduated from the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria . He then studied at the Escuela Nacional de Jurisprudencia (ENJ) and left there in 1923 as a lawyer.

From 1927 he lectured at the ENJ and from 1929 was professor and chair holder for the fields of law and economics. In 1932 he became director of the ENJ, from June 20, 1942 to July 27, 1944 then rector of the UNAM. In July unrest broke out during the election of directors at three UNAM faculties, which culminated in the death of a student. Because of this, Brito had to resign from the rector's office. In the following weeks the university was temporarily headed by interim rectors and the council of ex rectors.
