This book explores the aspirational principles and actual practices concerning lawyers’ pro bono service. It begins from the premise that both the profession and the public have much to gain from reducing the gap between ideals and institutions. To that end, the book provides the first broad-scale study of the factors that influence American lawyers’ pro bono work, including an original empirical survey of over 3,000 lawyers. Attention is focused on the workplace factors and law school experiences that encourage charitable public interest activities. The book also includes the first comparative study of public service by looking at volunteer work by other professionals and by lawyers in other countries. Part I of the book explores the literature on altruistic commitments among the public in general, and lawyers in particular. Part II traces the evolution of attorneys’ pro bono responsibilities. Part III presents findings of the empirical survey. Part IV draws on these findings, together with prior research, to propose strategies for increasing and improving lawyers’ pro bono activity.

Foundation Pr

This collection of 10 significant ethics rulings reveals the rich background surrounding salient cases on issues of: Race Gender Class Taxation Bankruptcy Defense representation Confidentiality Practicing with law partners Greed The story behind each case provides a look into its immediate impact as well as its continuing importance in shaping the law.

Legal Ethics: Law Stories

Luban, David

This ethics essay is the only published case history of a discrimination suit against a law firm. Ezold v. Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen, was the first sex discrimination case to go to trial against any professional partnership. The article provides a rich study of the case behind the case.Drawing from litigation filings, contemporary news accounts, and interviews with all the major participants and their lawyers, the account offers a rare portrait of the complex procedural, substantive, and personal considerations that shape legal actions. Because the case so clearly illustrates that there were no clear villains or victims - the plaintiff won in the trial court, and lost in the court of appeals, it is an ideal supplement to a class on trial advocacy, civil procedure, employment discrimination, labor law or women and the law.
