Surely. the Members of Congress should have profound misgivings about legal aid services that use the poor to impose through the courts some fanciful. textbook view of social justice. Surely. it is the height of arrogance for lawyers to insist that their own formal processes are more appropriate in ways to chart social policy than the give and take of democratic politics. Legal Services Corporation attorneys have demonstrated their arrogance time and time again since the corpoTations establishment. Local projects have been administered without regard to community needs and values. Congressional prohibitions against lobbying and the representation of illegal aliens have been completely ignored. Indeed. a good case could be made for not funding the LSC at all.$
