520    In 1981, when Raymond Abbott was a twelve-year-old sixth-
       grader in Camden, New Jersey, poor city school districts 
       like his spent 25 percent less per student than the 
       state?s wealthy suburbs did. That year, Abbott became the 
       lead plaintiff in a landmark class-action lawsuit 
       demanding that the state provide equal funding for rich 
       and poor schools. Over the next twenty-five years, as the 
       non-profit law firm representing the plaintiffs won ruling
       after ruling from the New Jersey Supreme Court, Abbott 
       dropped out of school, fought a cocaine addiction, and 
       spent time in prison before turning his lif.
