Civil Justice and the Poor

"In 1963 The Center for the Study of Law and Society accepted a grant from the Russell Sage Foundation for the purpose of examining issues and perspectives bearing on the administration of civil justice. It was hoped that some ground might be laid for research that would be of interest to social scientists and of value for legal reform."
