Many thanks to Earl Johnson for a comprehensive history and a good read. Part of the charm of the story in these three volumes is that, as Johnson says in his prologue, it is 10 percent memoir and 90 percent traditional history. Because he has been involved at key points, he can tell the story as an insider at times and an interested observer at others. It sets the context for civil legal aid work today and for the goal, still only a goal, of equal justice for all.

The essential political history of America's fitful struggle to embrace the equal justice under law which it ostensibly provides to all comers. The sorry saga of the now 140 year history of self-interested bickering to avoid the modest cost of allowing everyone the legal help that would assure a just result in millions of civil legal matters is laid bare in this three volume treatment.
