Judge Robert M. Dow, Jr.
Volume 77, Special Issue, 31-34
My introduction to Professor Richard Marcus took place on my first day of law school. It was, as we now would say, a virtual encounter. Rick was present in the form of a not inexpensive textbook: Marcus, Redish, and Sherman, Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach. This was September 1990, and the first edition of Marcus, Redish, and Sherman was just one year old. The hefty tome remains on my bookshelf at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse. Fast forward to today: In its eighth edition, the textbook now known as Marcus, Redish, Pfander, and Zambrano, continues to introduce civil procedure to thousands of new law students every year.
