Counsel for the Deceived: Case Studies in Consumer Fraud

Memoirs and witty case studies of fraud schemes and consumer protection from an insider who helped to found New York City's first consumer watchdog agency. This is a funny, candid account of fraud and institutional paralysis written by a then-newby lawyer, the city's "Consumer Advocate." Philip Schrag was appointed by former Miss America Bess Myerson to defend consumers. Easier said than done.
