Articles by Maurer Faculty
The article examines the international activities of various segments of the U.S. legal profession and analyzes the impact of these activities on the domestic market in legal services. It takes an empirical approach to the question of how international activities have shaped the profession by chronicling the foreign office activity of more than 70 of the largest U.S. firms.

In this study we undertake a simple empirical analysis to examine the distribution of pecuniary and nonpecuniary benefits across the legal profession. Using the University of Michigan alumni data set, we conduct a series of regressions to examine how the participants' self-reported income and job satisfaction vary across the legal profession according to type of practice, gender, and whether the respondent is black or Hispanic. Regression analysis allows us to undertake this analysis while correcting for the effects of several other variables, including years of practice, hours worked, law school grades, satisfaction with family life, and population of the respondent's …

Doing Business: The Management Of Uncertainty In Lawyers' Work, John Flood
Doing Business: The Management Of Uncertainty In Lawyers' Work, John Flood
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Apparently naive, but in fact not, is the question: What do lawyers do? Many scholars assume the central role of the lawyer is that of the advocate, but among lawyers working in law firms advocacy consumes little of their time. Similarly, the term lawyer provides hardly any meaning in itself. The research presented here is based on a participant-observation study of a corporate law firm. The central thesis proposed, in the light of case studies of the selling of shopping mall and the arranging of a bank loan, is that business lawyers are engaged in managing uncertainty for both their …

The Changing Face Of American Corporate Law Practice, John Flood
The Changing Face Of American Corporate Law Practice, John Flood
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The professions of the 1980s are completely different from the situation in the 1930s. They are now subject to the norms of business rather than the standards of professionalism.1 It is part of the purpose of this article to show that the practice of law has become a business like any other business activity. As a result of this trans formation, the norms and standards so often identified with the professions have eroded.
In the next part of the article, I outline some of the demographic changes that have taken place in the legal profession and the reasons for them. …

Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The teaching of skills that result in sound legislative drafting is neglected in law schools, and professionalism in legislative drafting is lacking on both the federal and state fronts. With the adoption by the American Bar Association of seven major principles relating to the drafting of federal legislation, perhaps there is more hope now that there will be a move toward professionalism.
