About this title

Synopsis

VERY GOOD+ Hardbound Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 1989. Hardbound. VERY GOOD+. As new but no dust jacket. Published posthumously, the author of the Foreword stated "The commitment to using the law on behalf of the disadvantaged in society, the recognition that law is a social and political instrument of extraordinary power, and the persistent search for ways to better the human condition through political change were all values at the core of Bob's life,"

Reviews

This study, completed by Erlanger after Stover's (political science, Univ. of Colorado) death, argues that law school subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, discourages students from choosing a career in public interest law. This conclusion was based on data gleaned from selected law students at Denver, and Stover's own experience at the college. Until his untimely death at age 44 in 1986, Stover was also a practicing lawyer. This book, an essential addition to sizable legal collections, will be principally of interest to students and teachers of the law.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
