Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As a means of logic and an understanding of prior use, a grandfather clause allows exemptions under the law for specific situations, and often include end dates or cessation after death.

This book explores the concept of grandfather clauses, with examples from law, sports, and health. Also included are the opposing concept of retroactive laws and sunset provisions, plus much more.
