Notes: The nation's most prominent liberal labor lawyer during a period of ascending labor power, Pressman served as General Counsel of the Congress of Industrial Organizations from 1933 to 1948. This study chronicles his public life and examines his contributions to the rebirth of the American labor movement, to the development of US labor law, and to the history of the New Deal era.
