Divorce Lawyers and Their Clients: Power and Meaning in the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sarat, Austin / Felstiner, William L. F., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Each year more than 2 million Americans get divorced, ong>andong> most of them use a lawyer. In closed-door conversations between ong>lawyersong> ong>andong> their clients strategy is planned, tactics are devised, ong>andong> the emotional climate of the divorce is established. Do ong>lawyersong> contribute to the pain ong>andong> emotional difficulty of divorce by escalating demong>andong>s ong>andong> encouraging unreasonable behavior? Do they take advantage of clients at a time of emotional difficulty? Can ong>andong> should clients trust their ong>lawyersong> to look out for their welfare ong>andong> advance their long-term interests? Austin Sarat ong>andong> William L. F. Felstiner's new book, based on a pioneering ong>andong> intensive study of actual conferences between divorce ong>lawyersong> ong>andong> their clients, provides an unprecedented behind-the-scenes description of the lawyer-client relationship, ong>andong> calls into question much of the conventional ong>wisdomong> about what divorce ong>lawyersong> actually do. Divorce ong>Lawyersong> ong>andong> Their Clients suggests that most divorces are marked less by a pattern of aggressive advocacy than by one of inaction ong>andong> drift. It uncovers reasons why ong>lawyersong> find divorce practice frustrating ong>andong> difficult ong>andong> why clients frequently feel dissatisfied ong>witong>h their ong>lawyersong>. This new work provides a unique perspective on the dynamics of professionalism. It charts the complex ong>andong> shifting ways ong>lawyersong> ong>andong> clients "negotiate" their relationship as they work out the strategy ong>andong> tactics of divorce. Sarat ong>andong> Felstiner show how both ong>lawyersong> ong>andong> clients are able to draw on resources of power to set the agenda of their interaction, while neither one is fully in charge. Rather, power shifts between the two parties; where it is achieved, power is found in the ability to have one'sunderstong>andong>ings of the social ong>andong> legal worlds of divorce accepted. Power then works through the creation of shared meanings. Divorce ong>Lawyersong> ong>andong> Their Clients examines the effort to create such shared meanings about the nature of marriage ong>andong> why marriages fail, the operation of the legal process, ong>andong> the best way to bring divorces to closure. It will be fascinating reading for anyone who is going through a divorce, or has gone through one, as well as for ong>lawyersong>, judges, ong>andong> scholars of law ong>andong> society.

An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming
