Clients and Lawyers

?Olson's thesis is that recent social policy litigation has been more decentralized and has featured greater client participation than was true a generation ago.... She observes that this new style of litigation is often found along with nonjudicial forms of political action and is more likely to be successful when a finite remedy rather than a broad statement of constitutional principle is sought. Olson concludes by suggesting that women's rights groups could profit by using these methods. Recommended for academic libraries.?-Library Journal
