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.

Published in 1948, this book is concerned with how the law school may be more effective in educating the many law-trained students who will eventually go on to work as legislators, judges, and policy-making members in government, or who, as lawyers outside the government, will nevertheless exert large influence over it. One of the most important questions is whether government lawyers are inadvertent policy-makers, and if so, how they make policy.

This book, published in 1913, describes the results of the first investigation made by the Committee on Women's Work of the Russell Sage Foundation, part of a series of studies of the condition of women's work in important trades in New York City that demonstrate similar conditions throughout the United States. The bookbinding trade, one of the most important trades for women in the city at the time, is examined in detail. These findings were relevant to many other industries because it presented most of the important problems which confronted women wage-earners at the time.

MARY VAN KLEECK was secretary of the Committee on Women's Work at the Russell Sage Foundation.

Written as an appendix to the Fourth Report of the New York State Factory Investigating Commission in 1914, this report examines working wages for women in the millinery trade in an effort to determine what would constitute as fair and adequate rates of pay in such a diverse industry. It argues that such a trade requires the steadying of its seasons, thus lengthening the period of employment in order to make yearly income certain and adequate.
