Some of the issues are touched upon in Harry Brill’s, ‘The Uses and Abuses of Legal Assistance,” in issue No. 31 (Spring 1973) of The Public Interest; but Brill’s article is so weakened by inaccuracies and omissions, and so malicious in tone, as to render it virtually worthless—except perhaps as a political document.
