Summary:
Mary Ann Glendon's A Nation Under Lawyers is a guided tour through
the maze of the late-twentieth-century legal world, in which even
lawyers themselves can lose their bearings. Glendon depicts the legal
profession as a system in turbulence, where a variety of beliefs and
ideals are vying for dominance. Dramatizing issues and events through
stories of lawyers and laypersons caught up in the currents of
change, she shows that what is at stake is the future not only of the
legal profession but of American democracy.
