Gabel was a founder of both the Institute for Labor and Mental Health in Oakland, California, and the Critical Legal Studies movement.
As a teenager he worked as a guide for the 1964 New York World's Fair, a fact he revealed on the game show What's My Line?, where he appeared as a guest and stumped the panel, which included his mother.
"[10] Gabel had a son, Samuel, with his long-time partner, Unite Here union organizer Lisa Jaicks.
