Rationing Justice Poverty Lawyers And Poor People in the Deep South

"Established in 1964, the federal Legal Services Program (later, Corporation) served a vast group of Americans desperately in need of legal counsel: the poor. At the program's zenith in 1981, more than 1,450 offices employing six thousand attorneys and three thousand paralegals worked to aid those who could not afford private attorneys. In Rationing Justice, Kris Shepard looks at this pioneering program's effect on the Deep South."--BOOK JACKET.Shepard, Kris is the author of 'Rationing Justice Poverty Lawyers And Poor People in the Deep South', published 2007 under ISBN 9780807132074 and ISBN 0807132071.
