Book Synopsis Transforming Justice, Lawyers and the Practice of Law by : Marjorie A. Silver
Download or read book Transforming Justice, Lawyers and the Practice of Law written by Marjorie A. Silver and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new work, compiled by the editor of The Affective Assistance of Counsel: Practicing Law as a Healing Profession (Carolina Academic Press, 2007), is a collection of writings by participants in the Project for Integrating Spirituality, Law and Politics (PISLAP) and others actively engaged in transforming law, legal education and social justice into something that is collaborative rather than adversarial. It seeks to heal brokenness rather than merely resolve disputes, and that moves us toward The Beloved Community envisioned by the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. more than fifty years ago. The book showcases the abundant ways in which lawyers, judges, law professors and others are employing more communitarian, peaceful and healing ways to resolve conflicts and achieve justice. It is written for those who share similar goals and are eager to learn new ways to practice law and create a legal system that fosters empathy, compassion and constructive change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Lawyer analyzes the profound impact changes in client needs and demands are having on how law is practised.

Book Synopsis Lawyers and Justice by : David Luban
Download or read book Lawyers and Justice written by David Luban and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1988-12-21 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law, Holmes said, is no brooding omnipresence in the sky. "If that is true," writes David Luban, "it is because we encounter the legal system in the form of flesh-and-blood human beings: the police if we are unlucky, but for the (marginally) luckier majority, the lawyers." For practical purposes, the lawyers are the law. In this comprehensive study of legal ethics, Luban examines the conflict between common morality and the lawyer's "role morality" under the adversary system and how this conflict becomes a social and political problem for a community. Using real examples and drawing extensively on case law, he develops a systematic philosophical treatment of the problem of role morality in legal practice. He then applies the argument to the problem of confidentiality, outlines an affordable system of legal services for the poor, and provides an in-depth philosophical treatment of ethical problems in public interest law.

Book Synopsis American Lawyers by : Los Angeles Richard L. Abel Professor of Law University of California
Download or read book American Lawyers written by Los Angeles Richard L. Abel Professor of Law University of California and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989-11-30 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed portrait of American lawyers traces their efforts to professionalize during the last 100 years by erecting barriers to control the quality and quantity of entrants. Abel describes the rise and fall of restrictive practices that dampened competition among lawyers and with outsiders. He shows how lawyers simultaneously sought to increase access to justice while stimulating demand for services, and their efforts to regulate themselves while forestalling external control. Data on income and status illuminate the success of these efforts. Charting the dramatic transformation of the profession over the last two decades, Abel documents the growing number and importance of lawyers employed outside private practice (in business and government, as judges and teachers) and the displacement of corporate clients they serve. Noting the complexity of matching ever more diverse entrants with more stratified roles, he depicts the mechanism that law schools and employers have created to allocate graduates to jobs and socialize them within their new environments. Abel concludes with critical reflections on possible and desirable futures for the legal profession.
Book Synopsis The Scale of Justice by : John P. Heinz
Download or read book The Scale of Justice written by John P. Heinz and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys the changes that took place in large corporate law firms during the last quarter of the 20th century. It argues that the most consequential change was the sheer increase in the size of the firms, and it explores several possible explanations for that growth. The paper also notes changes in demand for particular types of legal work and argues that service industries are likely to create more work for lawyers than in an economy based on agriculture or heavy industry. The changing nature of the relationships between corporate lawyers and their clients is explored, with emphasis on the growth in the power and prestige of corporate inside counsel, the greater competition among firms, and the broader geographic markets served by the firms. Changes in firm management associated with the increase in scale are described and analyzed. The paper concludes with observations and speculation concerning "multidisciplinary practice" (i.e., the move into the market for legal services, internationally, of large accounting firms, financial services firms, and consulting firms).
