you feel better? * Do you shop when you're under stress? * Do you

Public Interest Law Groups focuses on a special segment of the
profession, namely groups `that provide cost-free legal care to
willing clients' including `legal aid and legal services groups,
interest groups that litigate, and public-interest law firms.' . .
. It ought to be an automatic purchase for law school libraries and
it will fulfull needs for information about these organizations in
large public and academic libraries. Wilson Library Bulletin In
recent years, public interest law has shifted from an exclusive
interest in the expansion of rights in such areas as consumer
protection, environmental law, and discrimination to a parallel
concern with seeking limits to freedoms and rights in both the
public and private sector. In addition, public interest law firms
have introduced diversified litigation strategies that were
uncommon even a decade ago. This volume is the only comprehensive
work to reflect these recent changes in the complexion and
strategies of public interest litigation. Following an introduction
describing the major shifts that have occurred in public advocacy,
the authors present over 300 profiles of firms, groups, and
organizations that litigate in behalf of the public interest and/or
use the courts to achieve policy ends. Organizations surveyed
include groups that focus on the protection of special interests,
rights, or resources and those that offer legal aid in diverse
areas, as well as legal organizations such as the American Bar
Association. Among the areas of concern are the advancement of
science in the public interest, conservation, consumer interests,
abortion, constitutional and civil rights, and the rights of groups
ranging from the elderly, women, children, and the handicapped to
American Indians and other minorities. Additional groups and
significant public interest cases are listed at the end of the
book. An important source of information for those wishing more
data on a particular group or the scope of today's public interest
litigation, this book is recommended for legal, public, and
academic library reference collections.
