Jerome Carlin's LAWYERS ON THEIR OWN is a recognized, foundational study of lawyers in individual practice in an urban setting. It became the template for an important form of social science research into lawyers in solo practice. In the first extensive and grounded study of individual practitioners and their candid quotes in interviews, Carlin exposed the unique practices, class divides, ethical dilemmas and ultimate resentments of a little-viewed subgroup of attorneys and their clients.
This book's findings and research methodology influenced many such studies of attorneys in action that followed it. The author's succinct and supported writing has proved to be an enduring and important study in this field of socio-legal research.
Updated with the author's extensive introduction to the second edition, as well as a new foreword by law professor William Gallagher, this modern republication is presented to a new generation of readers and researchers into the daily lives, work, business angles and unique challenges of solo and individual-client law practice.
Quality ebook formatting from Quid Pro Books includes linked endnotes, active and nested Table of Contents, legible tables and graphs, and careful proofreading. In addition, this ebook (as with the new edition in paperback) embeds the original pagination from prior editions so that the reader, even of digital formats, has continuity in research, referencing, and classroom assignments.
Jerome E. Carlin earned his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago. His research at Columbia on the lives and practices of New York lawyers formed the basis of his renowned book LAWYERS' ETHICS, a follow-up to the present foundational study. He became a Fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Society at the University of California, Berkeley, and helped to establish and became the first head of the San Francisco Neighborhood Legal Assistance Foundation. Carlin is an accomplished, professional artist and painted the cover to this book.
