Typescript. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. (ii), 69, (ii) pages; Clean and complete typescript (top carbon) of Richenthal's paper submitted to Professor Felix Frankfurter in May 1937. Loose pages contained by large paper clip. Arthur Richenthal (1915 2007) was a lawyer who was amongst the leading attorneys for New York's l…argest real estate players, including Donald Trump. In 1985, Richenthal represented Trump when he was sued by New York City and State ''for mistreatment of tenants'' at 100 Central Park South. In another case (with much broader implications), Richenthal won a decision by the state's highest court that shook the cornerstone of the city's survival plan in the fiscal crisis of the mid-1970s. For most of the 1970s and '80s, Mr. Richenthal was counsel to the Rent Stabilization Association, which was then a quasi-official state agency representing all owners of rent-stabilized buildings. It is now a private trade group for residential landlords in the city. This typescript survived these 80+ years in the collection of Francis X. Dwyer. Francis Xavier Dwyer (1902 - 1987) received a B.A. from Harvard University in 1923 and an M.A. the following year. After obtaining a law degree from Northweastern University, Dwyer returned to Harvard where he was a librarian at the Law Library from 1931 until 1941. Subsequently, he spent decades as librarian at the Law Library of the Library of Congress.
