COMMENTS ON THE ACTIVITIES OF ATTORNEYS IN THE LEGAL SERVICES FOR THE POOR PROGRAM OF THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
Abstract
THE POSITIONS OF BOTH CRITICS AND ADVOCATES OF THE PROGRAM ARE OUTLINED. MUCH OF THE CRITICISM IS CONCENTRATED ON THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE GOVERNMENT PAID LAWYERS HAVE LITIGATED AGAINST STATE LAWS. STATISTICS ARE PROVIDED ON THE KINDS OF CASES HANDLED BY THE POVERTY LAWYERS.
