Through meticulous historical research in case studies of the New York Legal Aid Society, NAACP, ACLU, and Legal Services Corporation, Saut 's book analyzes how access to the legal system has been affected by cultural and structural changes in society and in American politics. His chapter on pro bono in large firms reveals how a new generation of elite lawyers defines its commitment to professionalism and the poor.\"\u003cbr\u003e - Cynthia Fuchs Epstein\u003cbr\u003e Distinguished Professor\u003cbr\u003e Graduate Center, CUNY\u003cbr\u003e Author, \u003ci\u003eWomen in Law\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Rob Saut 's \u003ci\u003eFor the Poor and Disenfranchised \u003c\/i\u003eis a subtle and fascinating history of the development of public interest and poverty law in the United States, analyzing how the legal profession has responded to the needs of the poor and disenfranchised over time. Although there have been many advances in the ways those needs are met, Saut  closely examines the influence of the market, social movements and other factors and suggests that those responses have been inadequate, particularly in light of a legal system moving increasingly to the right.\"\u003cbr\u003e - Mark Potok\u003cbr\u003e Senior Fellow\u003cbr\u003e Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Saute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610272811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610272810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quid Pro, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Robert Saute","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057065685247,"sku":"9781610272810","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a563711-9708-4b4b-a454-127e63abfcd2.jpg?v=1685044831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-the-poor-and-disenfranchised-robert-saute-9781610272810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
