Signee "Vic" Kramer co-founded the Center for Law and Social Policy, and was the first director of the Institute for Public Representation at Georgetown University, focusing on public interest law and education after abruptly leaving a successful career in corporate law. His Washington Post obituary quotes a colleague from Joseph Goulden's 1972 book The Superlawyers, "Well, he took a year's leave to help found the Center for Law and Social Policy, a public-interest firm, and then sent word to Arnold and Porter that he wasn't returning; finished, just like that, tossing over a $200,000-a-year partnership and casting his lot with those...kids who are always yakking about consumerism and berating Washington lawyers..."
