A timely and multifaceted portrait of the lawyers who serve the
diverse constituencies of the conservative movement, "Lawyers of
the Right" explains what unites and divides lawyers for the three
major groups--social conservatives, libertarians, and business
advocates--that have coalesced in recent decades behind the
Republican Party.
Drawing on in-depth interviews with more than seventy lawyers who
represent conservative and libertarian nonprofit organizations, Ann
Southworth explores their values and identities and traces the
implications of their shared interest in promoting political
strategies that give lawyers leading roles. She goes on to
illuminate the function of mediator organizations--such as the
Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society for Law and Public
Policy--that have succeeded in promoting cooperation among
different factions of conservative lawyers. Such cooperation, she
finds, has aided efforts to drive law and the legal profession
politically rightward and to give lawyers greater prominence in the
conservative movement. Southworth concludes, though, that tensions
between the conservative law movement's elite and populist elements
may ultimately lead to its undoing.
