An unprecedented account of social stratification within the US
legal profession. How do race, class, gender, and law school status
condition the career trajectories of lawyers? And how do
professionals then navigate these parameters? The Making of
Lawyers’ Careers provides an unprecedented account of the last
two decades of the legal profession in the US, offering a
data-backed look at the structure of the profession and the
inequalities that early-career lawyers face across race, gender,
and class distinctions. Starting in 2000, the authors collected
over 10,000 survey responses from more than 5,000 lawyers,
following these lawyers through the first twenty years of their
careers. They also interviewed more than two hundred lawyers and
drew insights from their individual stories, contextualizing data
with theory and close attention to the features of a market-driven
legal profession. Their findings show that lawyers’ careers both
reflect and reproduce inequalities within society writ large. They
also reveal how individuals exercise agency despite these
constraints.
