Lawyers, Law Schools, and the Public Service

About This Book

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.

ESTHER LUCILE BROWN was director of the Department of Studies in the Professions at the Russell Sage Foundation.

Report on the Desirability of Establishing an Employment Bureau in the City of New York

Author
Edward T. Devine
Ebook
Publication Date
254 pages

About This Book

Based on Jacob H. Schiff's 1908 argument for the establishment of an unofficial employment bureau for the City of New York for the benefit of the unemployed, this 1909 report, funded by the Russell Sage Foundation, is an examination of the need for such a bureau and an inquiry into the reasons for the discontinuance of other similar labor bureaus that attempted to deal with the same problem.

EDWARD T. DEVINE was Schiff Professor of Social Economy at Columbia University and general secretary of the Charity Organization Society of the City of New York.

About This Book

This book, published in 1955, is a successor to Joanna C. Colcord's Your Community: Its Provision for Health, Education, Safety, and Welfare, published by the Russell Sage Foundation in 1939. It is designed as a broadly conceived working manual of community study aimed at not just social workers, like its predecessor, but a more varied group of citizens. It details procedures for conducting the survey, both in its organizational and methodological aspects.
