This book seeks to illuminate what we call the cultural lives of
cause lawyers by examining their representation in various popular
media (including film, fiction, mass-marketed non-fiction,
television, and journalism), the work they do as creators of
cultural products, and the way those representations and products
are received and consumed by various audiences. By attending to
media representations and the culture work done by cause lawyers,
we can see what material is available for citizens and others to
use in fashioning understandings of those lawyers. This book also
provides a vehicle for determining whether, how, and to what extent
cause lawyering is embedded in the discourses and symbolic practice
around which ordinary citizens organize their understanding of
social, political, and legal life. This book brings together
research on the legal profession with work that takes up the
analysis of popular culture. Contributors to this work include
scholars of popular culture who turn their attention to cause
lawyers and experts on cause lawyering who in turn focus their
attention on popular culture. This is a joining of perspectives
that is both long overdue and fruitful for both kinds of
scholarship.
