The late Harold Berman was a pioneering scholar of Soviet law, legal history, jurisprudence, and law and religion; he is best known today for his monumental Law and Revolution series on the Western legal tradition.

Lawyers in the United States work in public service, private counseling, and dispute resolution, but many also work outside of traditional legal practice.
