    Its Rise, Fall, and Future

    by John C. Coffee Jr. ...
    Uniquely in the United States, lawyers litigate large cases on behalf of many claimants who could not afford to sue individually.

    Their Untold Constitutional Legacy

    by Michael J. Gerhardt ...
    Their names linger in memory mainly as punch lines, synonyms for obscurity: Millard Fillmore, Chester Arthur, Calvin Coolidge.

They boldly fought battles over constitutional principles that resonate today. Gerhardt ... Read more
