This collection of original essays by leading and emerging scholars
in the field examines the history, conditions, organization, and
strategies of pro bono lawyering. Private Lawyers and the Public
Interest: The Evolving Role of Pro Bono in the Legal Profession
traces the rise and impact of the American Bar Association's
campaign to hold lawyers accountable for a commitment to public
service and to encourage public service within law schools.
Combining empirical legal research with reflections by
practitioners and theorists about the meaning and practice of pro
bono legal work, this collection of essays interrogates the public
service ideals that are inscribed within the legal profession and
places these ideals within a broader social, economic, ideological,
and normative context. Particular attention is paid to the factors
that explain why lawyers engage in pro bono work and the ways in
which their views of pro bono are mediated by the institutional
context of their legal practice. The book also explores the concept
of "public" in public service and compares pro bono as a means of
delivering legal services with other mechanisms such as state
funding. Collectively, these essays investigate the evolving role
of pro bono in the legal profession and in law schools, the
relationship between pro bono ideals and pro bono in practice, the
way that pro bono is shaped by external forces beyond the
individual practitioner, and the multi-faceted nature of legal
professionalism as expressed through pro bono practice.
