Cravath, Swaine and Moore records
Cravath, Swaine & Moore is a major Wall Street law firm that traces its beginnings to the law practice begun by William H. Seward (1801-1872) in Auburn, New York, in 1823. It assumed its current character when Paul D. Cravath (1861-1940) joined the firm of Seward, Guthrie & Steele in 1899. The firm played a leading role in the industrial combinations at the turn of century and helped business to cope with the growth of the regulatory state in the years since. The records consist of a sample of case files, and include correspondence, briefs, pleadings, notes, and supporting documents, as well as occasional exhibits and transcripts of testimony.

The Ernest Munster papers reflect his work which necessitated his familiarity with international trade and incorporation laws and taxation policies. The collection primarily consists of records Munster maintained during his years as president of Lawyers International Corporation, with some papers dating back to his employment with International Corporation Company in the late 1930s.
