IMember of the New York Bar; formerly Staff Attorney, Columbia University Project for Effective Justice. Dr. Mark was associated with the Project from 1956 to 1958, during which time he supervised the gathering, compiling and analysis of much of the empiric material re- ported in this article and assisted in the preparation of the prelimi- nary drafts. We are deeply indebted to Professor Maurice Rosenberg, Director of the Pri)ject, for his assistance in the preparation of the study. We are particularly grateful for his critical reading of the manuscript and his many helpful suggestions. Several other members of the Project staff have contributed to the work reported here, and we regret that space does not permit us to thank them individually. We owe a special debt to the Columbia Uni- versity Bureau of Applied Social Research for its help with the statis- tical aspects of this report. Bureau sociologists and statisticians have supervised the methods of analysis and projection which are such an essential part of this study. We are also indebted to the members of the Project's Advisory Com- mittee for their invaluable guidance. The views expressed here, how- ever, do not necessarily reflect those of the Committee or particular members there f. The funds for the Project's work have been supplied primarily by grants from the Walter E. Meyer Institute of Law, Inc., and the New York Foundation, Inc.
