For more than 35 years, Andrew J. Schatkin has been a practicing attorney, author, and teacher. There are very few lawyers or judges in these United States who can rival his prolific output, his analysis, or his insightful commentaries on subjects relating to the law. All lawyers and the public owe him a debt of thanks for his due diligence.
