Book Description

Excerpt from The Public Defender: A Necessary Factor in the Administration of Justice Mr. Goldman's book, The Public Defender, discusses a subject which seriously affects the rights and the liberties of the common people. The publication of this book is opportune. It merits deep study and careful consideration. Mr. Goldman's arguments are convincing and unanswerable. His learned and comprehensive treatment of the subject will stimulate and arouse a favorable public sentiment. My experience as a district attorney and on the bench of the Supreme Court leads me to concur fully with Mr. Goldman in his contention that there should be a Public Defender to look after the rights of the poor. The creation of such an office would be not only justice, but economy. The poor man cast into prison, no matter how innocent, is helpless and hopeless.
