Since his case may involve the interests of hundreds of people, the lawyers' and the courts' jobs are firmly bound into the social structure of the time without, however, either the lawyers or the judges possessing anything like the expert psychological and sociological knowledge that could be used in making decisions. Professor Radin presents the law as a very humane instrument, inept in many ways, but no more so than the humane society from which it springs.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
