Published in 1936 as part of the Russell Sage Foundation’s Emergency Relief Studies series, Cash Relief explores the use of cash grants as emergency relief versus providing goods such as food, clothing, or fuel. Cash relief became widespread among emergency relief administrations during 1934 and 1935. The staff of the Charity Organization Department of the foundation made field visits to nine cities where this system had been in operation. This book provides a history of such practices and the departments fieldwork findings.

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.

One of the most important questions is whether government lawyers are inadvertent policy-makers, and if so, how they make policy.
