NOTE: This syllabus is a work in progress and is still subject to substantial change.

GOALS

This course examines the history, structure, and functioning of legal professions in the United States and other countries around the world. The core theme is that legal professions reflect the social, political, and legal structures in which they are embedded, and that professions change in response to their changing environments.

WARNING: This course is not a tour of legal careers or legal jobs; nor is it either a celebration or condemnation of lawyers and the legal profession. Students who have decided that their life's work will be as a lawyer may find some of the material disconcerting.

REQUIREMENTS

This course will be conducted through a combination of lectures and discussion. I expect students to come to class prepared, having done the reading for the material to be covered in the lecture and discussion. In signing up for this class, you are making a commitment to attend the class (if you get called into work, tell your employer you have to go to class!). Many students who wanted to enroll in this class were not able to get in; if you cannot or are unwilling to commit to come to class, please drop the course and make room for someone who is willing to make that commitment.

Note that I will be showing one video; this will be in the evening on Wednesday, November 2. The exact time (or times, if I decide to do two showings) will be determined in consultation with the class.

Grading will be based on a combination of papers (25%), two take-home exams (25% each), and discussion (25%). I reserve the right to give unscheduled quizzes if I sense that large numbers of students are not coming prepared to class.

The two papers will be based on a lawyer "ride-along." Each student spend at least one full day observing a practicing lawyer at work. The first paper will be a simple narrative report describing what transpired in the course of the day; this paper must be completed within one week of the ride-along (and no later than November 10). I will review the narrative papers, but I will not assign grades to them (nor should students expect much in the way of comments on them unless I see writing-related issues) because they are primarily intended to provide a basis for the second paper. The second paper (due December 8) is to be an analysis of the ride-along in which the experience is to be assessed in light of the theoretical and empirical material covered in the class; the narrative paper should be attached to the analytic paper when the latter is turned in. When preparing the analytic paper, students may want to draw on the "additional readings" or locate other types of relevant materials; one way to locate such materials is to peruse the many books that have been written about the legal profession. The relevant Library of Congress call numbers are K300 through K320 and KF292 through KF300; these books are best found in the Law Library (3rd floor of the stacks.
