The article presents the author's views on social work, law and social action. Since law is a means of social control, it ought to be studied as such; with that in view, the law curriculum must be reorganized along functional lines so that the subject corresponds with the type of human activity involved; and the findings and insights of the social sciences, where relevant, must be integrated into the legal materials. The police or magistrate's court, the support court, courts handling personal injury actions, and, sometimes, the family court come in for most of the criticism. These are all areas where staggering caseloads may be on the dockets, where queues of parties may be lined up, where assembly-line justice is most apt to be meted out. The remedy that is most often employed to improved the condition of administration of justice in urban communities is to bring about an informal disposition of the bulk of cases by one or another means and to leave the hard core for the court to adjudicate formally. |
