Klappentext "Jean Stefancic and Richard Delgado offer an innovative approach to integrating a great career in the law with an examined, moral life. The authors make profound connections between law and literature, scholarship and practice, and the personal and the political. The book is an exciting combination of a self-help manual and cutting-edge scholarship. Stefancic and Delgado write with the insight and creativity that they will certainly inspire in lawyers and others who choose careers hoping both to live well and to do some good in this world."--Paul Butler, George Washington University Law School Zusammenfassung The professional discontent of lawyers in contemporary society is introduced via an account of the long friendship of Ezra Pound and Archibald MacLeish; then the authors suggest how critical legal theory might advance both legal thinking and the impoverished intellectual/ creative lives of lawyers.
