Mahoney, Calmore and Wildman's Social Justice: Professionals,
Communities and Law, 2d provides materials on law, lawyers, and
social justice and helps students understand the complicated
relationship between law and activism. Now used in law school
classrooms, clinics, and undergraduate courses, this text enriches
students' view of the legal profession and stimulates them to think
broadly about the roles of lawyers who work for social change. In
three parts - a system of lawyers, a system of law, and a system of
politics - the book provides both historic perspective and a modern
blueprint. Students will explore the meaning of rights and the ways
in which movements and lawyers defend existing rights and mobilize
for new rights claims. The second edition preserves the
organization and coverage of the popular first edition, with new
notes, citations to recent literature, and excerpts that address
cutting edge issues. Revisions and additions include recent federal
reforms that reduce the burden of student loan repayment, work
toward a right to counsel in civil cases, "low bono" legal
services, the economic crisis and recession, Hurricane Katrina, the
impact of foreclosures on inner cities, and gains and challenges in
the struggle for equality for sexual minorities. The campaign for
marriage equality provides new opportunities to address effective
methods for achieving social change and the impact of temporary
setbacks on movements, tactics, and law. Sections of the book are
suitable for use in courses on professional responsibility,
community lawyering, law and social change, and clinical skills.
