About This Book
In this 1966 book, Jerome E. Carlin, who was both a lawyer and a sociologist, marshals persuasive evidence that many lawyers do not consistently adhere to the standards of ordinary honesty, still less to the special professional rules in the canons of legal ethics. It calls for new and tough questions about the way the practice of law is organized.
JEROME E. CARLIN was professor at the Bureau of Applied Social Research, Columbia University, and the Center for the Study of Law and Society, University of California, Berkeley.
