- Edgar Cahn and his first wife, Jean Camper Cahn, together advocated for poor people. While working in Washington, DC, they coauthored an article for the Yale Law Journal, "The War on Poverty: a Civilian Perspective." The Legal Services Corporation was a direct result.
Later, they founded the Antioch School of Law, the first law school that added clinical legal experience to the traditional study of case law.
In the 1980s, the two developed the concept of service credits/time dollars, as a barter system for people to trade services. Jean Camper Cahn died in 1991. In 1995, Edgar Cahn established TimeBanksUSA, a national nonprofit for time banks. -karenb
