essays ... that engage and challenge the intellect .. the studies are framed by a well-theorized introductory chapter ... Grossberg's article on legal aid in the United States is particularly strong and revealing on the internal politics of the legal professions ... Both the political agenda articulated by Halliday and Karpik and the data they and their contributors generated are of tremendous importance ... This volume will ... be seminal for both the controversies and the follow-up research that it will spawn.

American Bar Foundation 1999, Review Section Symposium, Lawyers and Politics

This is an important book ... It provides readers with great detail and insight, highlights the limitations of Anglo-American views of professions, and rightly argues that politics and political values matter.

Gerard Hanlon, Work and Occupations, Vol 27, No 4, November 2000

This is an excellent addition to the literature on legal professionals...This exceptionally well organized book is highly recommended for faculty and graduate students./ M. G. Pufong, Valdosta State University, Choice, Feb 1999, Vol 36/ no 6

In contrast to other theories of legal professions, which neglect politics, this volume advances a political theory of lawyers' collective action by demonstrating lawyers' influence on the emergence and development of western political liberalism. Four sociologists and four historians show how layers, over several centuries, have been variously committed to the building of liberal political society in France, Germany, Great Britain, and the United States. The introductory chapters, written by the editors, present a theoretical argument that integrates the historical and comparative studies of lawyers' engagement in three areas of liberal politics: the constitution of the moderate state, the institutions of civil society, and the constitution of individual rights. The editors conclude the book with an essay on lawyers' historical involvements in political globalization. This fresh interpretation not only demonstrates the variety of relationships between lawyers and politics, but it delineates issues, concepts, and a theory that helps understand the current action of lawyers in new democracies.

This text advances a political theory of lawyers' collective action. It claims the growth of lawyers' collective organization is connected to the development of Western liberal ideals and institutions, and focuses on three areas where lawyers' engagement has shaped the core of liberal politics.
