Esther Lucile Brown. Lawyers and the Promotion of Justice. New York City, U.S.: Russell Sage Foundation, 1938.
This foundational study examines the legal profession in the United States as part of a broader inquiry into the roles and responsibilities of established and emerging professions. Focusing on the evolution of legal education, Esther Lucile Brown explores how the training, standards, and institutional structures of the legal field influence its ability to serve justice. Through a critical analysis of legal curricula, professional ethics, and the relationship between legal institutions and society, the book highlights both the potential and limitations of lawyers in advancing justice within a democratic framework.
