Symposium Introduction, Ellen Yaroshefsky

Hofstra Law Review

This symposium presents case studies of the often difficult ethical and tactical issues confronted by lawyers for social justice movements. These case studies were developed by the pairing of movement lawyers with legal ethicists and enriched by the discussions at the Movement Lawyering Ethics Roundtable. They seek to provide guidance to lawyers facing these recurrent issues. This issue also includes an essay entitled "Rebuilding the Ethical Compass of Law" and reading guides with selected bibliographies.
