Product Description
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. ...

Product Description
This collection of original essays by leading and emerging scholars in the field examines the history, conditions, organization, and strategies of pro bono lawyering.Private Lawyers and the Public Interest: The Evolving Role of Pro Bono in the Legal Profession traces the rise and impact of the American Bar Association's campaign to hold lawyers accountable for a commitment to public service and to encourage public service within law schools. Combining empirical legal research with reflections by practitioners and theorists about the meaning and practice of pro bono legal work, this collection of essays interrogates the public service ideals that are inscribed within the legal profession and places these ideals within a broader social, economic, ideological, and normative context. Particular attention is paid to the factors that explain why lawyers engage in pro bono work and the ways in which their views of pro bono are mediated by the institutional context of their legal practice. The book also explores the concept of "public" in public service and compares pro bono as a means of delivering legal services with other mechanisms such as state funding. Collectively, these essays investigate the evolving role of pro bono in the legal profession and in law schools, the relationship between pro bono ideals and pro bono in practice, the way that pro bono is shaped by external forces beyond the individual practitioner, and the multi-faceted nature of legal professionalism as expressed through pro bono practice. ...
