Author Biography
For more than fifty years, Stephen A. Sheller, Esq., has been, according to Temple Law School Dean JoAnne Epps, an unrelenting advocate for justice for this country. From representing the Black Panthers and women experiencing pay inequity, to consumer fraud litigation, to the first legal challenge in Bush v. Gore, he is a pioneer in the legal landscape. Sheller is sought after by media as a reasoned and thoughtful commentator. He and his wife are philanthropists and founders of the Stephen and Sandra Sheller Center for Social Justice at Temple University. In 2015 alone, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award by The Legal Intelligencer, was named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer for the twelfth consecutive year, and was honored as Humanitarian of the Year by the Citizens Commission for Human Rights. This book lays the foundation for his next, Pharmageddon: A Nation Betrayed, starting with Bush v. Gore and focusing on the pharmaceutical industry.
