Lawyers in cases involving injunctions against picketing represents clients in situations of great immediacy.
Abstract
A significant number of injunction actions are settled with reductions in picketing despite a seemingly restrictive statute and a highly organized workforce. This study of legal culture examines the role of lawyers in striving to create predictability, especially in regard to judges and the police, and in transforming conflicts of value into disputes over interests that can be resolved without resort to formal adjudication. References, notes, cases cited, statutes cited. (Publisher's abstract)
