这是一个研究如何组织的法律的制度和公民事务导致公民界定事务作为法律的事项，并寻求咨询律师。这些数据来自对底特律大都会区780名居民（604名白色人和176名黑人）的问题和法律的经历的抽样调查。研究结果表明，收入和位置的社会结构影响公民接触律师不仅提供相关的资源，但通过确定他们的类型的问题。每种类型的问题都有其自身的要求模式和对使用法律的服务的限制。问题的类型、关于问题的制度化定义、可利用的资源以及解决问题的社会组织都产生了与法律的职业的联系。
This is a study of how both the organization of the legal system and of citizen affairs lead citizens to define affairs as legal matters and to seek advice from a lawyer. The data are from a sample survey of the problems and legal experiences of 780 residents of the Detroit Metropolitan Area, 604 white and 176 Negro. The findings show that income and location in the social structure affect citizen contacts with attorneys not only by providing relevant resources but by determining their types of problems. Each type of problem has its own pattern of requirements and constraints for the use of legal services. The type of problem, institutionalized definitions about it, available resources, and the social organization of problem solution engender contacts with the legal profession.
