Klappentext "This work examines the unique position of lawyers committed both to profession and to cause. The wide variety of social movements described in the book offers a natural setting for asking how politically committed collective clients shape the lawyer's role and the tension this poses for professional responsibility."--Richard Abel, UCLA School of Law "Cause Lawyers and Social Movements presents a rich range of case studies of the interaction between lawyering and social movement."--Lucie White, Harvard Law School Zusammenfassung This volume seeks to reorient scholarship on cause lawyers, inviting scholars to think about cause lawyering from the perspective of those political activists with whom cause lawyers work and whom they seek to serve.
