Last week, eminent political scientist Barbara Sinclair passed away. She was a renowned congressional expert who contributed as both a researcher and a public intellectual. Over the course of a renowned career, she explained the inner workings of congressional party leaders, the evolution of the Senate, and the ability of Congress to enact major legislation.
Barbara was a first-rate scholar, and a very generous and helpful colleague. Her work on “Unorthodox Lawmaking” had a profound impact on the field of Legislation. Condolences to her friends and family.
