Jerome Carlin
The Bay Area Figurative painters of the 1950s sought to renew the Abstract Expressionist process by connecting it to figurative subject matter. Like the figurative painters, Carlin also delights in richly saturated color, simplified forms, and gestural painting that makes atmosphere and light almost palpable. The surfaces of Carlin's paintings present feathery layers of color, thickets of brush strokes evoking the drama of the color and the transfer of emotion from narrative content to paint. Although reminiscent of Bay Area Figurative painting, Carlin's work emphasizes interconnectedness rather than isolation. He paints specific individuals rather than depersonalized figures in architectural or landscape space. The freeze-frame is an apt metaphor for the containment of individuals stopped in the flow of time.

The Vanishing American Lawyer
Over 4,000 lawyers lost their positions at major American law firms in 2008 and 2009. In The Vanishing American Lawyer, Professor Thomas Morgan discusses the legal profession and the need for both law students and lawyers to adapt to the needs and expectations of clients in the future. The world needs people who understand institutions that create laws and how to access those institutions' works, but lawyers are no longer part of a profession that is uniquely qualified to advise on a broad range of distinctly legal questions. Clients will need advisors who are more specialized than many lawyers are today and who have more expertise in non-legal issues. Many of today's lawyers do not have a s...
Lawyers on Their Own
Foundational socio-legal study of lawyers in solo and small practice in Chicago in the 1950s and early 1960s, updated with later contributions from 1994 and 2011. Jerome Carlin's LAWYERS ON THEIR OWN is a recognized, foundational study of lawyers in individual practice in an urban setting. It became the template for an important form of social science research into lawyers in solo practice. The first extensive and grounded study of individual practitioners and their candid quotes in interviews, Carlin's book exposed the unique practices, class divides, ethical dilemmas and ultimate resentments of a little-viewed subgroup of attorneys and their clients. This book's findings and research metho...
The Paradox of Professionalism
This book is about the role of lawyers in constructing a just society. Its central objective is to provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between lawyers' commercial aims and public aspirations. Drawing on interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives, it explores whether lawyers can transcend self-interest to meaningfully contribute to systems of political accountability, ethical advocacy and distributional fairness. Its contributors, some of the world's leading scholars of the legal profession, offer evidence that although justice is possible, it is never complete. Ultimately, how much - and what type of - justice prevails depends on how lawyers respond to, and reshape, the political and economic conditions in which they practise. As the essays demonstrate, the possibility of justice is diminished as lawyers pursue self-regulation in the service of power; it is enhanced when lawyers mobilize - in the political arena, workplace and law school - to contest it.

Woman's Place
Why does it happen that, no matter what sphere of work women are hired for or select, like sediment in a wine bottle they settle to the bottom? Why do the best women--those in whom society has invested most heavily--underperform, underachieve, and underproduce? Why this is so and how it occurs in the focus of this book. The sociologist's special tools of analysis are used to identify the social factors that assign women to their place and keep them there. While most of Epstein's data are drawn from the professions--law, medicine, science, engineering, and university teaching--her analysis touches at many points the problems of poor women, who constitute the major part of the female work force. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1970.
