Book excerpt: "Established in 1964, the federal Legal Services Program (later, Corporation) served a vast group of Americans desperately in need of legal counsel: the poor. At the program's zenith in 1981, more than 1,450 offices employing six thousand attorneys and three thousand paralegals worked to aid those who could not afford private attorneys. In Rationing Justice, Kris Shepard looks at this pioneering program's effect on the Deep South."--BOOK JACKET.
