At Yale since 1956, Bickel has become one of the law school's most provocative teachers and prolific authors on constitutional law. He has also been one of the university's most outspoken critics of student militancy. When he wrote a magazine article last fall, a copy taped to the wall of a law school corridor was soon decorated with unflattering graffiti by activist student commentators.
