Minimalist Organizations: Vital Events in State Bar Associations, 1870-1930
TL;DR: This article used national data on the growth of state bar associations to develop organizational theory in three respects: first, they refined the theory of organizational vital events through a distinction between minimalist and nonminimalist organizations, and developed conceptually and empirically the interplay of time (age, cohort, and period) and size in explanations of the founding and failure of associations.

After Minimalism: Transformations of State Bar Associations from Market Dependence to State Reliance, 1918 to 1950
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the movers and stayers in a population of state bar associations that split into two coexisting forms of organization, one primarily reliant on the market and the other primarily dependent on the state, and demonstrate that a two-stage transition to a new form can be explained by the complementary interplay of resource dependency and neo-institutional theories.
