In Blacks and the Law, Geraldine R. Segal carefully and completely
details the history and current status of black lawyers, judges,
law professors, and law students in the United States. Extensive
research into all available materials for Philadelphia,
supplemented by interviews and questionnaires, results in an
unrivaled study of the situation in one city. Her findings are then
placed in a national setting by using comparative data from fifteen
other American cities. The wealth of data presented here shows the
persistence of high degrees of racial exclusion and
underrepresentation practiced by the legal profession over many
years. Countervailing these findings are success stories of
enormously motivated and determined blacks who have overcome great
obstacles to attain high positions as lawyers and judges. Within
the legal establishment, increasing numbers of whites have
dedicated themselves to lowering barriers to black participation.
Blacks and the Law brings to light the racial prejudices of the
white American legal community as well as its efforts to overcome
such biases. It also shows the massive effort black people have
made to achieve significant but limited progress toward integration
of the legal profession and indicates the amount of work still
ahead. This study is therefore of vital interest to all members of
the legal profession, students of race relations, social mobility,
and the professions, Philadelphians, and others who follow the
struggle for racial equality.
