The remarkable life of a lawyer at the forefront of civil and human rights since the 1960s By the time he was 26, Michael Tigar was a legend in legal circles well before he would take on some of the highest-profile cases of his generation. In his first US Supreme Court case—at the age of 28—Tigar won a unanimous victory that freed thousands of Vietnam War resisters from prison. Tigar also led the legal team that secured a judgment against the Pinochet regime for the 1976 murders of Pinochet opponent Orlando Letelier and his colleague Ronni Moffitt in a Washington, DC car bombing. He then worked with the lawyers who prosecuted Pinochet for torture and genocide. A relentless fighter of injustice—not only as a human rights lawyer, but also as a teacher, scholar, journalist, playwright, and comrade—Tigar has been counsel to Angela Davis, Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown), the Chicago Eight, and leaders of the Black Panther Party, to name only a few. It is past time that Michael Tigar wrote his memoir. Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change is a vibrant literary and legal feat. In it, Tigar weaves powerful legal analysis and wry observation through the story of his remarkable life. The result is a compelling narrative that blends law, history, and progressive politics. This is essential reading for lawyers, for law students, for anyone who aspires to bend the law toward change.

He has made a specialty of counsel and brief work, and has been associated in a number of cases of considerable public interest, --such as the Tobacco Trust case, the action by the receiver of the New York City Railway Company against the Metropolitan Securities Company and the federal prosecution of the New York World for its alleged libels upon government ofiicials with reference to the Panama Canal. BaNCn AND BAR wishes the new firm every success. Hon. Nash Rockwood and Charles Haldane announce the formation of a partnership for the practice of law under the firm name of Rockwood & Haldane at No. 60 Broadway, Manhattan, New York City. Mr. Rockwood is County Judge of Saratoga County and has had an office for some years past at No. 35 Nassau Street, Manhattan, New York City. Mr. Haldane has for a number of years been associated with David McClure. If the great tribunal of which the late Justice Harlan so recently ceased to be a member were not regarded as one of the main foundation stones of our government, whose sustaining and supporting strength is supreme even over the personalities of its component parts, it would be little less than appalling to see such a rapid succession of changes as has recently been witnessed in the membership of the United States Supreme Court. For the death of Justices Peckham, Brewer and Fuller, and the retirement of Justice Moody, brought four new faces to that great bench within two years. Now death has claimed the veteran Harlan, than whom, perhaps, no more interesting or picturesque personality ever sat in that quiet chamber, where so much of our national..
