Abstract
A breath of fresh air has blown into many law schools because of the national antipoverty program in general and the Legal Services Program of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) in particular. The antipoverty program has quickened the consciences of many legal educators who for the first time clearly see how little they have done to focus attention on the legal problems of the poor.
The main focus of legal education has been on the typical problems of paying clients. Consequently, there has been little effort to teach law as a helpful instrumentality for the indigent except perhaps in the administration of criminal justice and family law.
This article focuses on exploring the role for law schools in OEO's Legal Services Program.
