Description:The federal Legal Services Program (later, Corporation) was established in 1964 to serve a vast group of Americans desperately in need of legal counselthe poor. Rationing Justice looks at this pioneering programs effect on the Deep South as the poor made tangible gains in cases involving federal, state, and local social programs, low-income housing, consumer rights, domestic relations, and civil rights. While poverty lawyers did not by themselves create a legal revolution in the South, they did force southern politicians, policy makers, businessmen, and law enforcement officials to recognize that they could not ignore the legal rights of low-income citizens. Having survived for four decades, Americas legal services program has adapted to ever-changing political realities, including slashed budgets and severe restrictions on poverty law practice adopted by the Republican-led Congress of the mid-1990s. With its account of the relationship of poverty lawyers and their clients, and their interaction with legal, political, and social structures, Rationing Justice speaks poignantly to justice for all in America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
