matters. The
Mims case involved a lawsuit for an injunction against public officials who
were being charged with wrongfully managing a proposed water project.

laws in a companion case (Mims v. Kemp, 516 F.2d 21 (4 th Cir. 1975). Over the years, the firm has continued
in its commitment to complex litigation, earning a name as one of the
