This book is about the role of lawyers in constructing a just
society. Its central objective is to provide a deeper understanding
of the relationship between lawyers' commercial aims and public
aspirations. Drawing on interdisciplinary and comparative
perspectives, it explores whether lawyers can transcend
self-interest to meaningfully contribute to systems of political
accountability, ethical advocacy and distributional fairness. Its
contributors, some of the world's leading scholars of the legal
profession, offer evidence that although justice is possible, it is
never complete. Ultimately, how much - and what type of - justice
prevails depends on how lawyers respond to, and reshape, the
political and economic conditions in which they practise. As the
essays demonstrate, the possibility of justice is diminished as
lawyers pursue self-regulation in the service of power; it is
enhanced when lawyers mobilize - in the political arena, workplace
and law school - to contest it.
