About this product

Product Information

Lawyer's ethics and regulation should be guided by an ideal of access to justice, and grounded in the everyday sociology of legal practice. This book proposes a practical model for making justice an everyday practice that not only incorporates lawyers' justice but goes beyond it, and provides a mechanism for rendering lawyers themselves subject to the justice of deliberative democracy.
