This book presents an invaluable collection of essays by eminent
scholars from a wide variety of disciplines on the main issues
currently confronting legal professions across the world. It does
this through a comparative analysis of the data provided by the
reports on 46 countries in its companion volume: Lawyers in
21st-Century Societies: Vol. 1: National Reports (Hart 2020).
Together these volumes build on the seminal collection Lawyers in
Society (Abel and Lewis 1988a; 1988b; 1989). The period since 1988
has seen an acceleration and intensification of the global
socio-economic, cultural and political developments that in the
1980s were challenging traditional professional forms. Together
with the striking transformation of the world order as a result of
the fall of the Soviet bloc, neo-liberalism, globalisation, the
financialisation of capitalism, technological innovations, and the
changing demography of lawyers, these developments underscored the
need for a new, comparative exploration of the legal professional
field. This volume deepens the insights in volume 1, with chapters
on legal professions in Africa, Latin America, the Islamic world,
emerging economies, and former communist regimes. It also addresses
theoretical questions, including the sociology of lawyers and other
professions (medicine, accountancy), state production, the rule of
law, regional bodies, large law firms, access to justice,
technology, casualisation, cause lawyering, diversity (gender,
race, and masculinity), corruption, ethics regulation, and legal
education. Together with volume 1, it will inform and challenge
conceptions of the contemporary profession, and stimulate and
support further research.
