Behind the Bro: Richard Brosner

Richard Brosner is a name you should know.  This dude practically wrote the Federal Rules of Civil Brocedure and the Restatements that preceded them singlehandedly.  He cites Justice Carbrozo and William Prosser as his two biggest influences.  Undeniably important, Brosner offers a conservative and elemental approach to Brocedure, and is regarded as a leading authority on the subject.  His most influential work, Brosner on Brocedure offers what he describes as "a pragmatic, yet practical apbroach to the dense and often tricky rules" associated with bro-dom.

Legend has it: Brosner uses his un-ironic brostache to detect shifts in doctrinal reasoning, as well as for balance while performing one-armed keg stands.
