THE LEGAL PROFESSION
Lost Lawyer: Failing Ideals of the Legal Profession
by Anthony T. Kronman
This book describes a spiritual crisis affecting the American legal profession, and attributes it to the collapse of what he calls the ideal of the lawyer-statesman: a set of values that prizes good judgment above technical competence and encourages a public-spirited devotion to the law. The lawyer ideal of professional excellence, the author believes, has failed, undermining the identity of lawyers as a group and making it unclear to those in the profession what it means for them personally to leave chosen a life in the law. The most important critique of the American legal profession in some time, and an enduring restatement of its ideals.
