Cla$$ Action — Henry Denker

Judge Milton Handelsman to young attorney Reginald Rashad: "You are standing on the threshhold of a new Age. The Age of the lawyer. In our grand and glorious history this nation has seen industry after industry rise and thrive. Railroads! Coal! Oil! Shipping! Electric power! The automobile! Broadcasting! Recently Technology. Then Biotechnology. All rose from small beginnings to eventually dominate the nation's economy. And now . . now comes the next big industry to take over. "The Class Action. The means by which lawyers will take over all the other industries. And, of course, you want your share. Well, counselor, it will not be easy." Reginald Rashad, young black attorney, who recently resigned impulsively from the huge white-shoe law firm, WHITE, CRAVAT & SULLIVAN, is determined now to make it on his own. But as Judge Handelsman warned, it will not be easy.
