History
The term achieved renown when coined by Stan V. Smith (economist) during his testimony, the first such testimony proffered nationwide, in the case of Sherrod v. Berry, 827 F.2d 195 (7th Cir. 1987). It has since been in widespread use in subsequent legal decisions, in law review articles, and in law and economics articles nationwide. See for example Professon Cass Sunstein's University of Chicago Law & Economics, Olin Working Paper No. 340, July 2007. Such testimony has been admitted in state and federal court hundreds of times nationwide, increasingly gaining acceptance over the past decade, since 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
