James Madison Chair in Constitutional Law and Director of the Constitutional Law Center, Drake University Law School; B.S. 1974, Florida State University; J.D. 1977, University of Florida. This chronology is adapted, with permission, from THOMAS E. BAKER, RATIONING JUSTICE ON APPEAL-THE PROBLEMS OF THE U.S. COURTS OF APPEALS 31- 43 (1994). Striving for brevity and readability, it is candor, rather than immodesty, that compels me to include annotations to some of my previous publications when I have written at length on a particular topic briefly mentioned here. See Charles R. Adams, I, Lest We Forget: The History of the Mercer Law Review, 50 MERCER L. REV. 7, 23 n.67 (1998) (describing author as a professor [then located] in Texas whose life was consumed with little else).
