This is a study of a progressive law firm and its three partners.
The firm was founded in 1936 and existed until the death of one
partner in 1965. The partners were harassed by the FBI primarily
for defending labor union members and leaders and the defense of
both. The firm's primary client was Harry Bridges, the long term
President on the International Longshoreman's and Warehouseman's
Union (ILWU). The irony was that the more the FBI persecuted labor
unions, the more business the firm had from those harassed by the
FBI. During this time the FBI was primarily interested in
controlling the Communist Party. While the clients of the firm were
sometimes Communists, the law partners were not Communist Party
members. In both of these ways the FBI was wasting its time in
persecuting this firm. Although the primary data used involved
existing records (for example all of the partners had extensive FBI
files), we also interviewed colleagues and relatives of the
partners.
